Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are the most serious plant parasitic nematodes having a broad host range exceeding 2,000 plant species. Quercus brantii Lindl. and Q. infectoria Oliv are the most important woody species of Zagros forests in west of Iran where favors sub-Mediterranean climate. National Botanical Garden of Iran (NBGI) is scheduled to be the basic center for research and education of bot...

In this study, the active tectonics, paleoseismicity, and seismic hazards of Doroud Fault are examined through high-resolution satellite image interpretations, field investigations, outcrop trench excavations, dating geochronology samples. The (DF), one essential segments Main Recent in northern margin Zagros mountain range, has a historical instrumental background high seismicity. We present f...

Background & Aim: Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province contains several major floristic plant associations of central Zagros Mountains. Kallar species were used for medicines nutrias in this area. However, these valuable species have been threatened and even become at risk of extinction due to habitat fragmentation and disturbance. Therefore, the first step in protecting theses species is identify...

prangos ferulacea (l.) lindl. (umbelliferae family) is a dominant species in the some partial of habitats in zagros mountains. according to ethno-botanical studies, this plant is one of the best range plants of iran. local ranchers collect green prangos while it is toxic. they then dry the plant and use it to feed their livestock, especially in winter season. this research done to analyse the c...

Abstract. The Zagros orogenic system resulted due to collision of the Arabian plate with Eurasian plate. region is characterized by ocean–continent subduction and continent–continent collision, convergence velocity shows variations from east west. Therefore, this complex tectonic stress a wide range diffuse or localized deformation between both plates. in situ GPS data are very limited sparsely...

in this paper by using mm5 modeling system, the effects of the alborz mountain range on the development of synoptic weather systems on the leeward side of the mountains have been studied. the primary aim was to see if the cyclones are produced and intensified (cyclogenesis), however the cyclogenesis was found not to be marked and hence the focus of the study was on the effects of the mountain o...

flora of jahanbin mountain area in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province, located between shahrekord and hafshejan cities, with 12’187 hectares and 2’150 to 3’300 m elevation above sea level, is investigated. vegetation of this area comprises of 273 species, 189 genera and 42 families. asteraceae (37 species, 13.5%), poaceae (31 species, 11.3%) and fabaceae (25 species, 9.1%) were the most importa...
