Reyahi-Khoram M, Jafary M, Bayati M, Reyahi-Khoram R. 2012. Plants and animals diversity in Buqaty Mountain Area (BMA) in Hamadan Province, Iran. Biodiversitas 14: 190-194. Buqaty Mountain Area (BMA) is regarded as one of the genetic reserves of Hamadan province in Iran. BMA is highly important regarding variety of plant and animal species, but limited research work has been performed in this area in the field of biodiversity. Identifying the unique ecologic talents and capabilities and aesthetics of BMA is the most important objective of this study. This research was conducted during 2010 through 2011 in BMA to identify various plant and animal species through documentary and also direct field observations. With direct referring to the various regions of the studied area, plant samples were collected from different slope position and transported to field laboratory units. Sampling was made for every 20 meters increase in the height of area. Animal species of the area were identified too. Based on the results, about 44 valuable plant species, 45 species of birds as well as 7 species of mammals have been identified in BMA. It is recommended that the area be declared an A prohibited hunting area by Department of Environment (DoE) of Iran for the conservation of flora and fauna in the study area.
Capparis spinosa is one of the most widely consumed aromatic and medicinal plants in Iran whose local name is "shapaleh". The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the production and processing of Capparis in Asadabad Township in Hamedan province is suitable and sustainable. The food processing industry is one of the basic industries operating in Iran and is divided into several sections. Iran is the second largest economy in the Middle East and North Africa, Iran annually produces 12 million tones of fresh fruits and 23 million tons vegetables. In this situation, it is necessary to select kind of crop, technology tools and apply methods to improve them. Today in Iran, there are three industrial companies which are engaged in industrial processing of Capparis. One of the mentioned industries is situated in Hamedan province with name "Sahar Food Industries Company". It is concluded that, if local authorities are honest about their needs, Stakeholders will be able to give feedback, receive information and be informed of major decisions made.
Reyahi- Khoram M, Norisharikabad V, Vafaei H. 2012. Study of biodiversity and limiting factors of . Ag-gol Wetland is one of the important and seasonal wetlands of Iran. This wetland is located on southeast of Hamadan Province and was declared as a prohibited hunting area by Department of Environment (DoE) of Iran. Identifying the characteristics, capabilities and limiting factors of Ag-gol Wetland is the most important objective of this study. The present study was conducted during 2007 through 2010. Documentary and observation methods have been used to access to information. For general identification of the area, digital maps and Geographic Information System (GIS) were used. Identifying capabilities and limitation factors of the studied area was made through extensive field inspections and direct field observations. Bird species of the region were identified and statistics of the population of bird species were gathered. In this research, valid academic resources were used. According to field inspections and studies, 46 species of waterfowl birds and wader birds of Iran have been identified at this wetland. The results of this research showed that Ag-gol Wetland has a high potential regarding the variety of waterfowl and wader birds. Continuous study in order to determine the depth of wetland water in different time intervals to estimate the volume of wetland water during different seasons of the year is recommended.
Reyahi- Khoram M, Hoshmand K. 2012. Assessment of biodiversities and spatial structure of Zarivar Wetland in Kurdistan Province,. Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that occupy about 6% of the world's land surface. Iran has over 250 wetlands measuring about 2.5 million hectares. Zarivar wetland (ZW) is the only natural aquatic ecosystem in Kurdistan province in Iran. The present research was carried out during 2009 through 2010 with the aim of recognizing the capabilities and limitations of ZW through documentary, extensive field visits and also direct field observations during the years of study. Geographic Information System (GIS) has been used to evaluate the land as a main tool. The results of this research showed that ZW has a great talent regarding diversity of bird species and the ecological status of wetland has caused the said wetland welcome numerous species of birds. The results of this research showed that industrial pollutions are not considered as threats to the wetland but evacuation of agricultural runoff and development of Marivan city toward the wetland and the resulting pollution load could be introduced as an important part of the wetland threats. It is recommended to make necessary studies in the field of various physical and biological parameters of the wetland, and also the facing threats and opportunities.
