Aquificales are metabolically versatile chemolithoautotrophic thermophilic bacteria. This group is widespread in both deep-sea and terrestrial hydrothermal systems. In Yellowstone National Park, they were first described in early descriptions of the biology of the park, and later captured the attention of many microbiologists including Brock, Stahl, Pace, and others. There are four genera curre...

Landsat ETM+ data from the National Park of Khabr in Kerman province, dating May 2000, were analyzed to investigate the possibility of forest type mapping in arid and semi-arid regions.Quality evaluation of the image showed any radiometric distortion. Orthorectification was implemented to reduce relief displacement. The RMS error obtained was less than half a pixel. The ground truth map allocat...
