Iran's energy system is extremely dependent on fossil fuels which, in turn, have led to
problems such as fossil fuels depletion, social, economic and environmental damage and …

Investigating the correlation between environmental variables and species distribution
should be performed using data acquired from appropriate spatial scales to meet adaptive …

In recent years, drought-induced tree mortality has occurred in the oak forests of the Zagros
Mountains (western Iran). The impacts of climate change induced by drought stress have …

An understanding of the relationship between canopy structure and the water balance is
needed for predicting how forest structure changes affect rainfall partitioning and …

Persian oak (Quercus brantii) is a dominant species in the ecosystems of western Iran. Over
the past decade, its decline has become a cause of concern, and still, the effect of some …

The present study models the effect of climate change on the distribution of Persian oak
(Quercus brantii Lindl.) in the Zagros forests, located in the west of Iran. The modeling is …

The objectives of the present study were to identify composition of fungal communities
associated with healthy and declined oak trees and seedlings in Ilam Province, Iran, and to …

Abstract Persian oak (Quercus Brantii Lindl.) which is the most widely distributed tree in the
Zagros Mountain forests is affected by western dust storms, mostly originating in Iraq, and …

In this study we evaluated forest fire risk in the west of Iran using the Apriori algorithm and
fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering. We used twelve different input parameters to model fire risk …

Oak dieback and mortality, as a multifactorial phenomenon, have occurred in many forests of
the world including Zagros forests in Iran. This phenomenon happens due to the complex …
