Today, in the rangeland management science and determination of range capacity, accurate and true information about range production is crucial. In fact, range production is considered as a basis for range management. The aim of this study was to compare different methods for the estimation of forage production with four sampling methods in the rangelands […]
In the present study, the Tangrah region located in the vicinity of Golestan National Park was selected for exploring the changes in the amount of the secondary essential of hypericin in Hypericum perforatum in different highlands of the eastern Golestan province. The aerial flowered parts of the herb were collected randomly and in three replications […]
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. […]
Overgrazing, via harvesting of forage species and decrease the other herbs, is of progressive factors in biodiversity destroying. In order to investigate the animal grazing impacts on changing of plant structure and diversity, we selected the comparison between this effect with exclosure area, and proving of the excluded area effects on plant diversity; two sites […]
The superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. However, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of Kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic C and C/N ratio. […]
. In order to study the variation for seed yield and its components, 200 accessions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were sown as drilled plots, using alpha designs/unreplicated with two repeated entries with in all of 10 blocks under dry land farming system in Kabodarahang Research Station, Hamadan, Iran, during 2010 to 2011. Data were […]
This study aims to assess the effect of grazing intensity on vegetation structure, soil nutrient concentrations and soil physical properties. The study was carried out in steppe rangelands of Saveh, Markazi province, Iran. Four sites with four grazing intensities including very high, high, moderate and non-grazed with the same ecological conditions were selected. To study […]
In this study, some habitat characteristics of Iranian rose (Hulthemia persica) were studied in Gonbad watershed in Hamedan providence, Iran. Soil samples were taken by a systematic randomized method at elevation 2000-2400 m above sea level. Samples were taken from 0-30 cm depth. In the laboratory, N, P, K% and organic matter (OC%), soil acidity […]
The use of metal-accumulating plants to clean the contaminated soil with toxic metals is the most rapidly developing component of phytoremediation as an environmentally friendly technology. Overcoming harsh soil conditions and accelerating the recovery of degraded soils remain a worldwide restoration challenge. This study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cu and […]
Increasing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is the main factor for the climatic change having some harmful consequences for the human health while there is no considerable effort for decreasing this accelerated global problem, yet. Kermanshah province located in the west of Iran has about 1,200,000 ha rangeland which is dominated by Astragalus sppas […]
