Populus euphratica is distributed naturally in vast regions of Iran. It is a native species in arid and semi arid of the country. Drought and salinity tolerance is one of the most important characteristics of P. euphratica. Geographical and climatic differences in P. euphratica distribution have caused morphological and genetical differences among the tree populations. Soil texture was sandy, sandy loam and loam. The electrical conductivity (EC) value ranged from 1< up to 30 mS.cm ¹ and pH value ranged from 7.3-8.8. Collection of germplasm resources was established with the planting of 22 provenances from superior trees in Karaj Research Station. The height growth diameter and height were related to the Hamidiyeh, Ramhormoz, Tafresh and Kerman provenances. Gherekhlar, Mahneshan and Jolfa provenances had the lowest growth values. Due to the limitation of fast growing tree species in dry and semi-dry regions with saline and alkaline soils, plating of P. euphratica provenances and its hybrids could be of interest to the farmers of these areas.

Wood is a natural bio-polymer. The unique advantages of this engineering material including its widespread availability, sustainable renewal, favorable ecological assessment, ease of processing, lightness, reusability, and environmental compatibility have not been hidden from the eyes of scientists and engineers and have made it one of the most popular materials in the construction of structures, such as houses, bridges, docks, furniture, etc. However, the natural nature of this engineering material imposes limits on its properties (moisture absorption, dimensional changes, biological deterioration, weathering and ultraviolet degradation, etc.) and application. Therefore, this natural material may need to be transformed in order to acquire the desired functionality. Accordingly, wood modification can be an effective method to increase the strength and durability of this engineering material and results in a wide range of wood products. Therefore, nowadays, with the development of technology, various methods of wood modification have been invented to improve its engineering properties, and consequently wood has considerable importance for engineers, architects and designers of structures. The department of wood and paper science of research institute of forests and rangelands is one of the oldest and most experienced custodians in field of wood and its products. The wide research has been carried out by this group in various fields of wood protection and modification. This research team has achieved considerable results by applying various methods of wood protection and modification as well as different preservatives, whose results are presented in scientific journals, internal and international conferences and seminars. The results of this research can be used as effective solutions to increase the strength and durability of wood and its products.

Forests are the national capital of each country, whose protection and proper use of them, in addition to earning money, ensures the survival of environment. The endemic plant species are unique genetic reserves of each country due to the having some superior morphological traits adapted to environmental conditions, particularly their resistance to pests and diseases and unfavorable environmental factors. This makes the proliferation and protection of endangered species a vital issue; therefore, the need to use the methods that could meet the growing need for cultivation and proliferation is felt. Mature trees that have been able to withstand their survival in various atmospheric conditions, pests and diseases attack, and inadequate environmental conditions over the years are valuable treasures of genetic reserves. Tissue culture is a tool that can save the endangered tree species, which are not capable of reproduction. This biotechnological method could be effective in preserving endangered forest species through proliferation of species under laboratory controlled conditions and then cultivation in natural arenas. During the three late decades, around 31 endangered forest species have been propagated through micropropagation in the tissue culture laboratory of biotechnology department of Research Institute of Forests and Range lands.

Thuja orientalis is exclusive to mountain areas. It is seen in forests as wild types in Dezicola village, Mazandaran province. In other areas except for southern parts of country, it is seen as artificial planting and has been considered from ancient times. Nowadays, it is planted in 29 provinces in order to extend green areas. However, its long-lived stands are observed in several provinces. There are 44 long-lived stands of Thuja orientalis, of which 35 are registered and their information are recorded. The long-lived stands have been reported in 6 provinces, among which south Khorasan has the most frequency with 6 stands. The most aged biota, Esphad, is almost 900-1040 years old, found in south Khorasan.

Due to different management and climatic factors, a significant level of rangelands of the country is degraded quantitatively and qualitatively and an important part of its plants is in danger of extinction or their population has declined sharply. To create stability in these rangelands, range improvement and reclamation practices through selecting right species has a special priority. Therefore, regarding the results of research projects carried out in Booshehr province, this study was aimed to investigate the forage production of Helianthemum kahiricum accessions. The seeds of four accessions of the study species were collected from Chahake Ganaveh, Delaram, Mand and Naiband. The study was conducted in a randomized complete blocks with four treatments and three replications under field conditions in the Borazjan station. From the second year onwards, forage production was recorded each year. Data analysis was performed using SAS software and mean comparisons were done by Duncan’s test. Our results clearly showed that among the study accessions, Delaram could be used in range improvement and reclamation due to the forage production of 200 kg/ha and successful establishment.

The Parishan wetland is one of the most important freshwater wetlands of Iran. It is important ecologically and biologically as well as species diversity. At the national level, it is a very valuable ecosystem and has rich biodiversity, economic, social and cultural values. This lake is a recognized wetland in Ramsar Convention list. It is known as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. The Parishan Lake is known as one of the Iran's tourism hubs, located in the Famour Mountain. The spring and autumn of this wetland is spectacular. Aquatic plants and reeds around the lake, forests located in north highlands, and several rocky protrusions with wild and migratory birds have created an interesting natural park.

Acantholimon glabratum Assadi subsp. kashanense Batuli & Assadi is an endemic subspecies in Vishange-e Barzuk highlands and Qhamsar; Qazaan (Isfahan Province, Iran). The very limited distribution of this plant is only on rocks and the alluvial fan ridge of the Kargash Mountain, in the protected area of Barzuk-Ghamsar. Its habitat is located in mountainous part of the Irano -Touranian region and in the altitude range of 2850 to 3100 meters above sea level. The conservation status of A. glabratum subsp. kashanense was defined based on International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Categories. Referring to the area of occupancy, highly fragmented populations, low regeneration due to limited seed setting and quality of habitat, A. glabratum subsp. kashanense is recognized as “Critically Endangered”. The field observations indicated that excessive livestock surplus on rangeland, eradication by indigenous people, mine exploration activity and road construction in this area were the main threats to this subspecies. Therefore, special attention and full conservation of this natural genetic reserve is needed.
