Decision makers in fire management are faced with many alternatives and criteria. In decision making about the event of fire, various criteria including technical, economic, social and environmental criteria have to be considered simultaneously. Management to prevent and control fires in forests and rangelands will be effective if fire-prone areas and management identify and focus […]
In order to study the effects of three operations of rangelands on the properties of vegetation in rangelands, this research was conducted in Chaat Gonbad, Golestan province, Iran in 2004. Chaat area is located in 50 km of border road of Dashlibroun to Maravetappeh in North of Attract River (border of Iran and Turkmenistan). The […]
Soil salinity is one of the important factors which can influence the growth and distribution of plant species. Saline and alkaline rangelands of Golestan Province, Iran with low-deep underground water level are considered as a halophyte plant species growing area. Attempts have been made to determine soil salinity and its relationship with Frankenia hirsuta L. […]
Renewable natural resources are the wealth that not only belongs to the current generation but also to future generations. Diversity in rangeland user viewpoints and policy makers has caused these lands to face some damages. This study was conducted to compare viewpoints of ordinary members as rangeland users, and board of directors as executives of […]
The study of the relationships of the plant species with the soil in a salty ecosystem would play a significant role in the ecologic programming and management of these inhabitants. The saline and alkaline rangelands of the Golestan province are areas that contain salty soil with high underground crusts. The areas are covered by halophyte […]
Infiltration rate of water into the soil depends on the factors such as rock and litter cover, canopy cover, rainfall intensity, coarse material, land slope, soil texture and amount of initial soil moisture. The most important factors that are effective in the water infiltration rate of rangelands are livestock trampling and vegetation reduction due to […]
Studies on vegetation changes of rangelands under grazed and non-grazed conditions are of great importance in the range management planning programs. To determine the change process of vegetation, this study was performed in Inche Shorezar site of Golestan province for nine years (1997-2005). The vegetation parameters were measured every year in several fixed plots inside […]
