Evaluation of plant diversity in pure and mixed Plantations of Cupressus arizonica – Iran

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of tree mixture on plant biodiversity in Cupressus arizonica plantations. Plantations are primarily established in order to achieve economic objectives, such as the profitable income derived from the timber production and from other wood products. today, attention to the other services. These services include biodiversity maintenance […]

Male reproductive cycle phases (spermatogenesis) of White Chub – Squalius platyceps (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae) from Skadar Lake (Montenegro)

Male reproductive cycle phases of Squalius platyceps from Skadar Lake, Montenegro are analysed in an annual cycle. Maturity phases of the reproductive cycle are estimated on the base of macroscopic and histological descriptions of male gonads. Temporal aspect of the maturity phases of male reproductive cycle are presented respectively. Research data for Squalius platyceps, as […]

Jumping plant lice of the family Carsidaridae (Hemiptera : Psylloidea) from Cameroon: taxonomic, faunisitic, phenology and host plants

Cameroonian psyllids members of the Carsidaridae family are revised. Six species are recognized within this family including three known species, two newly described species; one species remain undescribed because the material is not sufficient. The newly described species are Carsidara camerunensis sp.n., psyllid of Sterculia tragacantha and Mesohomotoma njinei sp.n., psyllid of Desplatsia dewevrei. Adults […]

Spatial distribution of ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri Teijsm. & Binnend.) based on slope position and its stand structure in the forest area of tabalong district

Forest resources in Tabalong District has been degraded, proved by the fact that Ulin trees (Eusideroxylon zwageri) are difficult to be found. Ulin is in the status of endangered species, thus it must be protected and under the development efforts. Therefore, it needs information on Ulin spatial distribution based on the slope position and its […]

Effects of physiographic factors and soil properties on distribution of Ferula gummosa Boiss: case study of Karaj Kalarud Region

Ferula gummosa Boiss, belonging to Umbelliferae family, is widely distributed in mountainous regions of Iran, especially Zagros and Alborz Mountains. This species is of great economic importance due to industrial, pharmaceutical, food and forage uses. In the present study, the effect of some ecological factors associated with Ferula gummosa Boiss was investigated in one of […]

Removal of heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Ni and Pb) using fresh water algae (Utricularia tenuissima, Utricularia tenuis & Zygogonium ericetorum) from contaminated water

A study was conducted to check the efficiency of different fresh water algae for removing heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Ni and Pb) from contaminated water. The three most abundant indigenous algal species namely Ulothrix tenuissima, Oscillatoria tenuis and Zygogonium ericetorum were collected from fresh water channels of Parachinar, Pakistan and brought to the laboratory of […]
