indicated that the illuviation process in the calcareous soils of the arid regions of the eastern Isfahan was probably in response to Quaternary moist conditions. There was no significant difference between clay coating properties of the studied relict...

in 1966–2010. The ET0 changes were attributed to wind speed changes in semi-arid regions and mean tempera- ture changes in humid areas in the past period. An increase in ET0 was projected under all scenarios due mainly to temper- ature rise and declined...

analysis of the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the polymerase chain

In arid and semi-arid regions where evaporation highly exceeds rainfall, approximately one half of the stored water in shallow lakes may be lost due to evaporation. Precisely estimating this for very shallow lakes is however a daunting tasks due...

of this study show the effectiveness of magnetic susceptibility properties for the interpretation of paleopedological and paleoenvironmental conditions of loess-paleosol sequence in northeastern Iran. It should be noted that in the arid regions, to avoid...

In hydrological models, soil conservation services (SCS) are one of the most widely used procedures to

calculate the curve number (CN) in rainfall run-off simulation. Recently, another new CN accounting

procedure ...

In order to determine the effects of land use on bacterial community composition

and some physicochemical properties of soil, a study was carried out in three different

land uses (orchard, farm and shrub) in arid-region soils located...

In this study, a framework for simulating the flow field and heat transfer processes in small shallow inland water bodies has been developed. As the dynamics and thermal structure of these water bodies are crucial in ...

In the high plateau region of central Iran, there is both a lack of information on calcic soil processes and aspects of Quaternary paleoclimate. Thus, the research discussed here was undertaken as afirst step to assess the ...

An unsteady fully three-dimensional model of Lake Binaba (a shallow small reservoir) in semi-arid Upper East Region of Ghana has been developed to simulate its temperature dynamics. The model developed is built on the ...
