Carbon sequestration in rangeland ecosystems has been identified as a suitable strategy to offset greenhouse gas emissions that information of carbon sequestration hotspots is a good tool to improve rangeland management. Objectives for this study were to assessment potential carbon sequestration in various rangeland types, to identify carbon sequestration hotspots and to study the effective fact...

some chemical characteristics of root, shoot and litter of index species such as salsola rigida, artemisia sieberi and stipa barbata commonly used in rangeland development projects were evaluated and compared. chemical properties of soil under and between the above mentioned species were also studied. for this purpose, vegetation types of stipa barbata and artemisia sieberi - salsola rigida wer...

artemisia deserti krasch (a. deserti), artemisia aucheri (a. aucheri) and artemisia sieberi besser (a. sieberi) are three members of asteraceae (compositae) family, which grow widely in the even and high areas of birjand, iran. this study has attempted to compare the total antioxidant capacity of methanol extracts of these three plants using dpph (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavengi...

allelopathy is one of the main factors limiting the plants growth. the present study investigated the effect of aqueous extract of leaves and fruit of artemisia sieberi that is an important species for rangeland rehabilitation on seed germination and seedling growth of three alfalfa species (medicago sativa cv. nikshahri, medicago polymorpha and medicago scutellata cv. robinson) in laboratory a...
