the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...

in recent years, due to absence of integrated watershed management in most regions, natural resources have witnessed numerous damages with severe floods as one of its consequences which further leads to economic, social and environmental damages. presently, there is no optimal utilization of land in most watersheds hence no optimal model matching with facilities and objectives is used in the wa...

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a management plan for the Sykan watershed of Darre shahr city located in Ilam province using GIS in land use planning. Methods: For land using of Sykan watershed of Ilam province with about 9 hectares area, map of classes, elevation, percent slope, geographical aspects, soil characteristics, vegetation density and the final map units were combined ...

the aim of this study was to assess the conversion of forest to vineyard on different physical pools of organic matter in zrebar lake watershed. soil samples were collected from the two major land use types including forest and vineyard land at 0-30; 30-60, and 60-90-cm depths. in each land use, different soc fractions were measured. according to the results of size fractionation of organic car...

Quantitative study of species diversity across different land use units and districts is important to document status of local plant biodiversity, to evaluate impact of management and for planning future management. This study aimed at determining impacts of land use units on species diversity and spatial distribution of species in two districts of Borana zone, Oromia, Ethiopia. Stratification ...
