in response to the demand for soil spatial information, the acquisition of digital auxiliary data and their matching with field soil observations is on the increase. with the harmonization of these data sets, through computer based methods, the so-called digital soil maps are increasingly being found to be as reliable as the traditional soil mapping practices, and with no prohibitive costs. the...

abstract: converting point data to continuous one is the first step in order to use them in scorpan flowchart. for this purpose, different geostatistic methods are available which at present research regression kriging with local variogram was applied. for mapping apparent electrical conductivity at the area covering 72000ha located in ardakan region, 700 readings in horizontal and vertical mod...

a detailed study of the lower cretaceous dasyclad algae of the shahkuh formation was done in the chahpalang stratigraphic section (its name comes from the mountain in studied area). according to the study of the 101 thin sections, for the first time, we recognized 7 genus and 8 species of dasyclad algae from shah kuh formation in chah palang section including angioporella cf. fouryae, griphopor...

the use of saline groundwater resources, in addition to save fresh water, could be used in production of forage in saline soils. in order to do it, the area in northern ardakan, yazd province with saline ground water (ec= 11.25ds/m, sar= 16.7) and saline and alkaline soil (ec=27.3ds/m, esp= 30.2%) was selected for planting of atriplelentiformis, seidlitzia rosemarinus, and nitraria schoberi. th...
