background & aim: a. belladonna (family: solanaceae) is one of important pharmaceutical plants which contain tropane ‎alkaloids. tropane alkaloids are distinct group of secondary metabolites of the ‎solanaceae family.  the most important alkaloids of a. belladonna are atropine and hyoscine that are used extensively because of their medicinal properties. therefore identification and ‎determi...

BACKGROUND The contribution of vegetation to shallow-slope stability is of major importance in landslide-prone regions. However, existing slope stability models use only limited plant root architectural parameters. This study aims to provide a chain of tools useful for determining the contribution of tree roots to soil reinforcement. METHODS Three-dimensional digitizing in situ was used to ob...

gully erosion constitutes a major problem in natural resources management and soil conservation, which causes severe land degradation in arid and semi-arid areas. therefore, determination of gully prone area and identification of gully conditioning factors can help to managers and decision makers to reduce the hazard of gully erosion. the aim of this study is to predictthe gully erosion suscept...

application of additives on soil surface has been considered to control runoff and soil erosion as well as the necessity of recycling. however, application of the environmentally-friendly techniques has been less taken into consideration. hence, the present study was planned to determine the effect of combination of vermicompost (24 g) with sugarcane vinasse (22 cm3) on runoff and soil loss at ...

In this research, the impact of a carbon sequestration project, in the Hossein Abad Plain in Southern Khorasan Province of Iran, on the status of water and wind erosion was evaluated. The study area has a harsh climatic condition with low annual precipitation and is prone to well-known 120-day winds in summer. Since 2005, various soil conservation treatments (plantations, over-sowing, plantatio...
