The main objectives of this study were to prepare a prediction map of the potential habitat of Agropyron intermedium and Find important factors influencing the establishment and distribution of this species and the preferred tendency of the species was relative to environmental factors Using the Maxent model. For modeling, region condition information was prepared including topography, climate, geology and soil, satellite images, digital elevation model (DEM), geology map, and climatology data. Then soil and plants sampling was performed and Soil samples were transferred to the lab. Soil properties were measured including gravel, pH, EC, lime, organic matter, N, K, P, sand, clay, and silt in the laboratory. Geostatistical methods were used for data analysis and mapping of environmental variables and the Maxent model was used for prediction maps. Kappa coefficient indicates that the Maxent model predicted A. intermedium habitat at a very good level (kappa = 0.85). Also, the accuracy of the classification of habitat maps predicted in the Maxent model is acceptable according to the analysis of the area under the curve (AUC = 0.771). The results showed that topographic variables and clay soil factor in the occurrence and distribution of A. intermedium has the greatest effect and increasing lime and ec have a negative influence on the presence of this species. A. intermedium is a desirable species that in addition to being used in creating hand-planted pastures, it is very important in improving and developing rangelands, especially in cold regions. Therefore, maintaining genetic and scientific,

Nowadays climate change, is the most significant threat in terms of sustainable development, particularly in developing countries. So regarding to rangeland ecosystems and their ability is a Particular attention to sequester carbon. This study aimed to assessing the carbon sequestration potential of natural and planted ranges through selected three species S. barbata, S.rigida and A.canescens. sampling from vegetation and soil have done along three 200 meters parallel transects by Systematic - random method. So that were taken 30 vegetable and 36 soil samples which were measured the organic carbon plants samples and some physical and chemical properties of soil In the laboratory. Then, by multiplying the amount of organic carbon in soil bulk density, was calculated total weight of carbon sequestration in soil depth. The results showed that among the three sites, the depth first of the soil, the amount of silt, sand, organic carbon, PH and EC (electrical conductivity) and In the second depth of the soil, the amount of silt, organic carbon, nitrogen, PH and EC there was a significant difference at 5% level. The comparison of carbon sequestration to the total habitat by Duncan's test showed that all three species were significantly different from each other at 5% level, So that the greatest amount of carbon stored is in the A.canescens planting of rangeland (39/84 ton/ ha) and the lowest Natural rangeland S.rigida (36/24 ton/ha), However the Natural range S.barbata was intermediate between both other species (31/34 ton/hac).

Nowadays, land degradation and desertification are serious and complex problems that have turned into a worldwide crisis in the world. Using evaluative systems to study degradation and adopting an appropriate strategy to deal with this phenomenon is necessary and important. The first step in the study of land degradation and desertification is determining criteria and indicators that affect upon this process. Therefore, in this study the importance and priority of a considerable number of criteria and indices that influence upon land degradation and desertification were examined. Accordingly, 8 criteria and 49 indicators were chosen based on questionnaires and expert panel and they were evaluated based on eight metrics. We weighted suitable criteria for evaluation indicators with the help of Shannon entropy method, and then by using the TOPSIS method (one of Multiple Attribute Decision Making Methods) we determined the most effective indicators on land degradation and desertification for management and dealing with this phenomenon. The results show that among the evaluation criteria and indices that should be considered for a benchmark or index, a scale, has the highest weight and importance, and being sensitive to change, has the minimum weight and importance.The results of the prioritization and ranking criteria and indicators based on TOPSIS model indicates that the severity of exploitation of water resources in the factor of water with the 0.79 efficiency, has the most effect and the use of facilities and personal management in the management factor with the 0.11 efficiency has less effect in land degradation and desertification.

The most important factor affecting forage quality is phenological stage that if it is recognized correctly, the appropriate grazing time will be determined. In this study, four species including Artemisia sieberi, Salsolakerneri, AelieniasubaphyllaandEurotiaceratoides in different phenological stages (vegetative, flowering and seedling) were sampled. Samples were taken from the rangelands of Nodooshan-Yazd in 1389 and 1390. At each stage, five replicates for each plant species were selected and at least five vegetable bases from different locations of vegetation type in the region were selected. Samples were grinded after drying and separating different parts (flower, leaf and stem) and then they were analyzed using infrared spectroscopy in the laboratory. Important indicators of quality such as crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), dry matter digestibility (DMD) and metabolic energy (ME) were determined. Results showed that the highest percentage of crude protein is found in leaves of A. subaphyllaand in vegetative stage (9.19%), highest percentage of ADF is in shoot and in seedling stage (53.42%) and the highest percentage of DMD (48.13%) and the highest amount of metabolic energy (6.18 MJ/KgDM) is in leaves of A. sieberi and in vegetative stage, respectively. The end of the vegetative period can be considered the best time for grazing.

In this study, the role of soil properties in making difference between plant communitieswas examined. First, four plant types were identified, including Pteropyrumaucheri-Salsolarigida، Astragalus gossypinus - Acanthophyllum herateens، Amygdalus scoparia – Achilla millefolium and Ephedra intermedia – Erigon capestra, through randomized systematic sampling and field survey in representative area of each type. In each plant type, three 500-meter transects were selected and in each transect, ten plots were placed along each transect. Characteristics of vegetation such as type and percentage of cover, gravel percentage, litter percentage and bare soil percentage were determined within each plot. In addition, in order to study the soil properties, at the beginning and at the end of each transect, a profile was dug and soil samples were taken from the depths of 0-20, 20-80 cm. Soil physical and chemical properties (texture, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter percentage, gypsum percentage, lime percentage, salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, sodium absorption ratio, sodium exchange percentage) were determined in soil laboratory. Then, the role of soil properties in making difference between plant communitieswas determined by using ANOVA statistical analysis, and the key factors making this difference were introduced as sand percentage, organic matter percentage, and electrical conductivity.

Abstract In this study the effects and costs of application of two kinds of super absorbent polymer on the establishment and surviving of seedlings was investigated. Experiments were done in the field and on two kind of soil with different salinity (EC: 4.5 and 8 dsm-1). The results showed: the establishment rate of seedling in control was about 40 percent. The percentage of seedling establishment in the hydrogel treatments significantly increased and statistically is equal to the optimal surviving of the seedling (80%). Soil salinity on seedling establishment in the same treatments did not produce significant differences. The results were compared with a similar project to determine the costs and benefits. Based on the results a 30 percent reduction in water usage per round and 33 to 50 percent reduction in the number of irrigation replicate were recorded. The costs in compare to the normal project varied from -2 to 29 percent respectively for treatment Herbosorb® 0.5% and Aquasorb 1%. The treatments Herbosorb® and Aquasorb with usage level of 0.5% caused about 2.5 percent for each one percent increasing in the cost. There is no significant increase in the percentage of seedling survival by using 1% super-absorbent compared to 0.5 percent.

Zygophyllum atriplicoides is one of the most important rangeland plants that often seen as associated species and rarely seen as the dominant species in ranglands rangelands which is very critical for soil in starting and ending points of each transect. Measured soil properties (included gravel, texture, organic matter, lime, pH and electrical conductivity) and physiography (elevation and slope) is measured also. By importing the information layers in appropriate model and using necessary statistical analysis in ENFA model, the map of its potential habitat has been created. The results showed that 25200 hectares of study site is potential habitat of Zygophyllum atriplicoides which is 34 percent of study site. To evaluate the verity of this model, Boyce index has been used and model rectitude in this test was determined as 87.2 percent. The result of this model is shown that PH and Lime are the main effective factor to determine potential suitable of this plant species.

This research was done in order to submit a model for salinity map made with TM satellite data and salinity values in a Buienzahra. The necessary processings such as principal component analysis and producing of different indices was done on the main bands. The 38 soil samples using random sampling (with 10×10 km dimension) from different horizons were designed and performed on the study area. The position of each node was registered with global positioning system (GPS), and the surface electric conductivity of samples was measured using EC meter instrument in soil saturation extract. Correlation between spectral values (main bands, produced indices) with electrical conductivity values were investigated for 80% of the samples. The regression analysis of ECe showed that there is a significant correlation between ECe with spectral data in all of main bands and with BI, NDMI, SI1, SI2, SI3 indices in 99% levels. The accuracy assessment of estimations using validation 20% samples was done. Results showed the produced ECe model could predict the soil salinity with ME and RMSE of 0.08 and 2.53 dS/m respectively. At finally, Salinity map with different salinity classes ( 0-2, 2-4, 4-16, 16-32, 32< dS m-1) was produced.

Combating desertification which is a serious threat for the environment and human welfare requires understanding complex issues of this phenomenon using evaluation, awareness of severity of it's processes and determination of it's factors. So here, after recognizing the characteristics of the region showing existence desertification, we assess its current status with emphasis on climate, water, geology-geomorphology, soil and wind erosion as the most criteria of desertification. According to more consensus on regional model or flexible model to modify, Iranian Model for Desertification Potential Assessment (IMDPA) ,which is calibrated to use in arid area of Iran, was chosen. At first the rainfall seasonality indicator was added to the model as a special climate character. Then primary assessment of desertification was done. At last according to the result of primary assessment, the area environmental conditions and revealed issues during assessment the model was modified, final assessment and mapping of desertification were done. At last according to the result of primary assessment, the area environmental conditions and revealed issues during assessment the model was modified, final assessment and mapping of desertification were done. Based on the results desertification intensity in 33/94% and 66/06% of the area are severe and moderate respectively. Also the major factors affecting desertification across Damghan region are climate, salinization of water and soil resources, improper land use, over exploitation of underground water, over grazing and improper irrigation method.

The aim of this study was providing plant species predictive habitat models by using logisticregression method. For this purpose, study area conducted in north east rangelands of Semnanmodeling vegetation data in addition to site condition in formation including topography, and soil wasprepared. sampling was done within each unit of sampling parallel transects and 1 vertical transectwith 750m length, each containing 15 quadrates (according to vegetation variations) were established.Quadrate size was determined for each vegetation type using the minimal area method. Soil sampleswere taken from 0-20 cm and 20-80 cm in starting and ending points of each transect. Logesticregression (LR) techniques were implemented for plant species predictive modeling. To plantpredictive mapping, it is necessary to prepare the maps of all affective factors of models. To mappingsoil characteristics, geostatistical method was used based on obtained predictive models for eachspecies (through LR method). The accuracy of the predicted maps was tested with actual vegetationmaps. In this study, the adequacy of vegetation type mapping was evaluated using kappa statistics.Predictive maps of Astragalus spp. ( κ =0.86), Halocnemum strobilaceum ( κ =0.51), Zygophylumeurypterum ( κ =0.58) and Seidlitzia rosmarrinus ( κ =0.6) with narrow amplitude is as the same ofactual vegetation map prepared for the study area. Predictive model of Artemisia sieberi ( κ =0.33),due to its ability to grow in most parts of north east rangeland of Semnan with relatively differenthabitat condition, is not possible.

One of the most appropriate approaches for flood forecasting is using peak discharge data of hydrometric stations in each region. However, lack of such stations or short duration of data in most parts of the country, make it necessary to use some alternative methods in order to estimate the flood discharge properly. One of these approaches is regional flood analysis method that in a region using observation discharge data in separate points, it calculates relevant regional flood models. These approaches give us possibility at a region without gauging station with similar and homogenous hydrological condition to estimate flood discharge for different return periods with acceptable accuracy. In this research three methods of regional flood analysis including index flood, multivariate regression and hybrid method were considered in 20 watersheds of central Alborz region. After taking into account, the hypothesis and limitations of each method, the results were compared with observed flood discharges using RMSE and MBE. Considering the hypothesis and validation of multiple regression model indicated it is not appropriate. Finally Index Flood method in return periods of 2, 5 and 10 years and hybrid method in return periods of 50 and 100 years proved higher accuracy in the whole region and no difference between these two methods in return period of 25 were shown.
