rainfall is considered a highly valuable climatologic resource, particularly in arid regions. as one of the primaryinputs that drive watershed dynamics, rainfall has been shown to be crucial for accurate distributed hydrologicmodeling. precipitation is known only at certain locations; interpolation procedures are needed to predict this variablein other regions. in this study, the ordinary cokri...

The molecular status of nine species of the genus Alburnoides from different river drainages in Iran and additionally by seven species from Europe was assessed. mtDNA COI gene sequences from freshly collected specimens and available NCBI data revealed four major phylogenetic lineages. Based on the results, a distinct taxon from the Cheshmeh Ali (Ali Spring), a Damghan River tributary in the end...

this study provide a new and updated checklist of the freshwater fishes of the dasht-e kavir basin of iran. the list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained as a result of extensive field expeditions, examination of ichthyological collections and literature review. the total confirmed freshwater fish species  of  the  dasht-e kavir  basin  comprise  22  spec...

Barley next to wheat is the most important and widely adapted food cereal in the lower parts of Karkhe River Basin. This crop is one of the most salt-tolerant crop species. Varieties of the crop differ considerably in their ability to tolerate salinity. These differences can be used for selecting high yielding varieties under saline conditions. A field experiment was conducted in Dasht-e Azadeg...

the genus alburnoides jeitteles, 1861 in iran is reviewed, and diagnoses are presented for all eight recognized species. alburnoides eichwaldii, a. holciki, a. idignensis, a. namaki, a. nicolausi, a. petrubanarescui, a. qanati and a. tabarestanensis are considered valid and three new species are described: alburnoides coadi sp. n., from namrud river in kavir basin, a. parhami sp. n., from atrak...

in desert areas high temperature and low precipitation limit growth and development of plants. under this circumstances wind becomes the most important erosion and transportation factor in these areas. there are four great sand masses in the central part of dasht-e-kavir namely rig-e-jen, rig-e-sargardan (shotori or halvan), rig-e-kharturan, and rig-e- chah-e-jam. these great sandy masses show ...
