Knowledge of medicinal plants and economic evaluation of their use is one of the basic requirements for the preparation of multi-purpose rangeland plans. The aim of this study was to estimate the economic indicators of the use of medicinal plants used in Aliabad Mosiri summer rangeland, located in Koohrang Bakhtiari. For this purpose, in the years 2018 to 2020, while sampling the vegetation and measuring the amount of organ production used by medicinal plants and the amount of forage of grazing species, economic indicators were calculated according to the collected data. According to the results, gross income from the use of medicinal plants includes; Shallots (Allium hirtifolium), Allium jesdianum, Allium ampeloprasu, Mentha longifolia and Thymus daenensis, in a harvest period, was estimated at 1139.463974 million Rials per hectare. From the deduction of overt and covert operating costs, the economic rent resulting from the sale of medicinal plants, 40,0342,242 million Rials per hectare per year was obtained. The expected value of each hectare of rangelands in the region from the place of exploitation of medicinal plants, taking into account the discount rate of 5.4 percent in September 2020, 71.74547 million Rials per hectare and from the place of forage for grazing livestock, 1.130050 million rials per hectare. It was estimated that the share of medicinal plants in the total expected value is 87%. .Also, the annual employment of medicinal plants in the 300-hectare area of distribution of medicinal plants, three people per year, was calculated

Floristic studies are fundamental for the applied sciences such as rangeland management and conservation. Rangelands of Sadrabad with an area of 40000 hectares is jocated in South West of Yazd province that it remarkable habitat for the floristic studies. In this study the floristic list of the region is presented and their life forms and endangered species are distingushed Plants were sampled following the common method in the regional taxonomic studies and their families, genera, and species were determined using indispensable references. The life form of plant species was determined using Raunkier’s method. The results showed that 235 plant species belonging to 39 families and 169 genera exist in this area. Hemicryptophytes, Therophytes, Chamaephytes, Geophytes and Phanerophytes included 36.45, 25.65, 23.47 , 7.82 and 6.55% of the total species, respectively. Furthermore, the endangered species of the region were identified on the basis of IUCN criteria and Red Data Book of Iran. Accordingly, 43endangered species were identified, of which 34 were in lower risk (LR) class, , 7 species were in vulnerable (VU) class, and 2 were put in data deficient (DD) class.
