Livestock grazing is one of the most important kinds of land usage that has a high potential to decrease or increase carbon storage in rangeland ecosystem. This research was investigated the effects of enclosure on soil carbon storage in a rangeland with dominant plants of Artemisia aucheri. Hence, two rangelands of enclosure (Shahtappeh-Chah Mahmood) and […]
Biological invasions form a major threat to the provision of ecosystems products and services and can affect ecosystems across a wide spectrum of bioclimatic conditions. Therefore, it is important to systematically monitor the spread of species over broad regions. It has long been recognized that remote sensing and geographical information system could contribute to this […]
Plant diversity and vegetation distribution in an area are related to the soil physical and chemical properties. The knowledge of relationships between species diversityand soil parameteris essential for sustainable ecosystem management. This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between soil factors and species diversity indices in the protected rangelands of Lashgardar, Malayer, Iran in […]
Iran is one of the principal centers of Astragalus genus. Astragalus adscendens is a valuable endemic plant. There is less information about the effect of climate change on Astragalus genus especially A. adscendens. In this study, we used the ensemble modeling based on seven species distribution models to predict the spatial distribution of A. adscendens. […]
