The main goal of this paper is to propose a new practical method for hydrologic soil group estimation in surface runoff process based on geomorphology facieses and slop. The determination of CN based on this method can reduce the time and cost of project. In this research the upstream rivers of Glinak Watershed have been used as a case study to examine the efficiency of proposed method with a c...

For an optimum use of natural resources in the sustainable development trend, there is a need to identify ecological resources in the shortest period of time and minimum possible cost. In this article, we aimed Management ecosystem by Assessment of plant covers changes at Taleghan Township in a twenty year period. Percentage of landscape and number of patch were among the metrics that were calc...

introduction a landslide or landslip is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope s...

in this research, data fusion (df) method was applied to simulate the hydrological process of taleghan reservoir daily inflow. two different df algorithms were proposed and assessed based on k-nearest neighbors (knn) algorithm. four artificial neural network models and two hammerstein-wiener (hw) models were used as the individual simulation models. comparison of the results between individual ...

The aim of this research was to compare the amounts of existing mineral elements in plant aerial parts, litter and soil ofthree range species (Bromus tomentellus, Psathyrostachys fragilis, Agropyron tauri) in order to investigate the litter effectof species on soil properties of Taleghan rangeland. The measured mineral elements include carbon, nitrogen,phosphorous and potassium. After selection...

The evaluation of an almond collection using morphological variables and identification of self-incompatibility genotype  is useful for selecting pollinizers and for the design of crossing in almond breeding programs. In this study, important morphological traits and self-incompatibilities in 71 almond cultivars and genotypes were studied. Simple and multiplex specific PCR analyses were used in...

Streamflow forecasting has an important role in water resource management (e.g. flood control, drought management, reservoir design, etc.). In this paper, the application of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used for long-term streamflow forecasting (monthly, seasonal) and moreover, cross-validation method (K-fold) is investigated to evaluate test-training data in the model.Then,...
