In arid and semi-arid rangelands, grazing as one of the natural or human induced processes has direct and indirect effects on structure and dynamics of plant community and ecosystems. A study was done to analyze the effects of grazing on plant species diversity and Plant Functional Types‘ (PFTs) diversity of arid and semi-arid rangelands. We […]
Aboveground Net Primary Production (ANPP) is one of the most important characteristics of rangeland ecosystems that is involved in important issues such as carbon balance. The aim of this study was to model the ANPP of Plant Functional Types (PFTs) and total ANPP with topographic factors in Siahpoush and Ganjgah rangelands of Ardabil province, Iran. […]
