the present study was conducted in the rangeland of glandrood watershed in the province of mazandaran. the objective of this study was to compare between the ecological amplitude of festuca ovina l., and poa bulbosa l., using the function hof along the gradient of the environmental variables. for this purpose 150 plots of 1m2 were established along the altitude gradient. the sampling method was...

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function has received a great deal of attention in ecological research and recent results, from re-analyses, suggest that ecosystem function improves with increases in phylogenetic diversity. However, many of these results have been generalized across a range of different species and clades, and plants with different evolutionary histories cou...

our planet is threatened by nuclear wars, climate change and degradation of biodiversity. the first two dangers are relatively focused on, but biodiversity degradation is not properly considered yet. species diversity is mostly composed of biodiversity and is considered an index of changes in ecosystems. many of researchers think of higher species diversity as an index of bio-system’s stability...

some scientists are interesting to study in area of harvested ecological modelling. the harvested population dynamics is more realistic than other ecological models. in the present paper, some of the lotka-volterra predator-prey models have been considered. in the said models, existing species are harvested by constant or variable growth rates. the behavior of their solutions has been analyzed ...

Pioneering studies in environmental proteomics have revealed links between protein diversity and ecological function in simple ecological communities, such as microbial biofilms. In the near future, high-throughput proteomic methods will be applied to more complex ecological systems in which microbes and macrobes interact. Data structures in biodiversity and protein surveys have many similariti...
