Karami A, Sefidi K, Feghhi J. 2014. Structure and spatial pattern of land uses patches in the Zagros Mountains region in the west of Iran. Biodiversitas 15: 53-59. Landscape ecology as a new interdisciplinary science, concepts, theories and methods provides for evaluation and management of land. Quantification of landscape patterns has key role in the interpretation and modeling of spatial and ...

the ecological footprint as an indicator estimates the effect of population and industrial products process on ecosystem by evaluating and calculating the used energy and materials in a city, region or country. dehgolan county is located in kurdistan province between hamadan and sanandaj cities. dehgolan is one of the important and effective counties of kurdistan in agriculture. however, with t...

erosion and sediment movement phenomena are one of the most complex issues in management of rivers drainage areas that in water projects are very important. that its measurement wants high time and cost. issue of surface runoff in river basin is a complex issue that human knowledge and understanding about its physical laws a viewpoint of some mathematical formulas is limited. in this study to i...

land-use planning is a science that determines the type optimum of land-use through studying the ecological characteristics of the land as well as its socio-economic structure. the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the land-use and natural resources for future sustainable land planning using gis. in this study, the makhdoom’s systematic method was used to analyze the ecological and...

The paper provides an overview and a comparison of land markets covering the three candidate countries for European Union membership: Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia and Turkey. We analyse and compare agricultural land structures and factors driving land markets. The analyses are based on the available crosssection and time-series evidence on agricultural land structure...

The present paper analyses the community structure of ectomycorrhiza (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi associated with seven different poplar clone types growing in a patch system on soil from four different former land use types, originating from spruce forest, poplar stand, grassland and cornfield. We determined the extent to which ECM and AM play a role on the studied factors (genot...

Conventionally, land use and transport interaction is studied through computer simulation using large-scale integrated land use and transport models. Though comprehensive, most of these models fail to recognise that urban growth is not entirely a global but also a local process. The over-complex and data hungry nature of these models further render them inefficient as tools for strategic planni...
