soil and sediments of the estuaries and wetlands in northwest of persian gulf are recently polluted with different heavy metals because of municipal and industrial wastewaters. therefore an urgent soil cleaning up and remediation program is vital in this region. consequently, this study was initiated to screen two plant species (festuca arundinacea and cynodon dactylon) for hyperaccumulation of...

Wetlands are valuable natural capital and sensitive ecosystems facing significant risks from anthropogenic climatic stressors. An assessment of the environmental risk levels for wetlands’ dynamic can provide a better understanding their current ecosystem health functions. Different defined by considering categories probability severity each in environment. Determining provides general overview ...

In this study, the degradation potential of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by aerobic mixed bacterial cultures was investigated. Microorganisms were isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated soils of Shadegan wetland located in southwest of Iran. The degradation experiments were conducted in liquid cultures. PAH or PAHs concentration was 100 mg/L at the beginning of degradation e...

Analysis of long-term land use and cover (LULC) changes requires up-to-date remotely sensed data to assess their effects on erosion. This is a particularly important assessment for regions with semi-arid landscapes where soils tend be scarce proper management necessitates matching LULC local conditions achieve sustainable use. study evaluates the impact erosion using Landsat satellite imagery R...
