2024年12月19日 · IranVeg stands as the first national vegetation database in Iran, promising valuable insights into biodiversity patterns and facilitating the assessment of future environmental and...

2 天之前 · Topography, elevation, water supply, and soil determine the character of the vegetation. Approximately one-tenth of Iran is forested, most extensively in the Caspian region. In the area are found broad-leaved deciduous trees—oak, beech, linden, elm, walnut, ash, and hornbeam—and a few broad-leaved evergreens. Thorny shrubs and ferns also ...

2025年2月6日 · To address this need, we developed IranVeg, Iran’s first national vegetation database. This project compiles over 13,400 vegetation plots gathered from decades of research, covering forests, grasslands, steppes, alpine habitats, wetlands, deserts, and …

2024年12月19日 · IranVeg stands as the first national vegetation database in Iran, promising valuable insights into biodiversity patterns and facilitating the assessment of future environmental and anthropogenic changes. It remains open to further development through a collaborative network of vegetation scientists.

2019年6月20日 · More than 10,000 plant species have been identified in Iran, a country which boasts of a rich flora base. Iran’s distinct geographical locations have enabled a variety of plants to thrive, from the high elevations of Zagros and Alborz mountains to …

By now, there is no comprehensive vegetation database dealing with all regions of Iran. There is only scattered vegetation information mainly for the forest areas and the halophytic vegetation. The mountain steppes, wetlands and Zagros Mountains remain still unknown.

2020年2月18日 · We classified the terrestrial areas of Iran into ecosystems using revised and updated layers of landform and climate as our two main criteria. Moreover, we applied a revised vegetation layer as the confirmatory criterion.

2023年10月18日 · The results showed that the largest terrestrial biome in Iran is deserts and xeric shrublands (DXS), while flooded grasslands and savannas (FGS) is the smallest biome. Roads, along with urban and...

Environmental (topography, climate) features have an important influence on plant diversity and richness of Iran. On the basis of environmental factors, four ecological zones with specific plant richness from lowest area to highest area (Hyrcanian, Khalij-o-Omani, Zagross and Iran-o-Touranian zones) were established respectively.

Iran's forests can be divided into five vegetation regions: 1. Hyrcanian region (Caspian) which forms the green belt of the north side of the country. 2. The region of Iran and Turan, which are mainly scattered in the center of Iran. 3. Zagros region, which mainly contains oak forests in the west of the country. 4.
