in management, the monitoring means systematic collection and storage of data from activities and strategies that provide assessment and report about the overall condition of the study area. in this research, among different existing methods, imdpa model was selected for monitoring desertification in garmsar plain. based on the study area two criteria including agriculture and water were select...

investigation of desertification trend needs understanding of phenomena creating changes singly or action and reaction together in the manner that these changes were ended up in land degradation. in investigation of pedological criterion onland degradation in quaternary rock units, first, a part of the rude-shoor watershed area was selected. after distinguishing target area, maps of slope class...

to investigate pedological criterion on land degradation in quaternary rock units, at first, a part of the shoor watershed area was selected. after distinguishing target area, slope classes, land use and geology maps were created, then map of units were founded by overlaying and crossing these maps. in this research three indices of erodibility, salinity and permeability of soils were considere...

One of the characteristics in Iranian Model of Desertification Potential Assessment (IMDPA) is vegetation. Sincevegetation is very important factor in the degradation of land, so some indices were determined for this item in order toevaluate desertification potential of arid, semi arid and arid sub humid areas of Iran. The indices included vegetationcondition, exploit and revegetation. To calib...

Several studies have been performed to evaluate the desertification in Iran andother countries which led to present national and regional models. One of them is IMDPAmodel. This model was used as a case study in Taraz Nahid, Saveh, Iran. In this study, fivefactors including climate, soil, vegetation, irrigation, and socioeconomic ones wereevaluated. According to the region conditions for each c...
