Long-lived trees are living environmental resources. They are important in this regard because they have undergone different climatic conditions. These trees are the genetic treasure of nature. During the registration of long-lived trees in Zanjan province, 48 ornamental and fruit trees were recorded. Twenty one trees were ornamental including species from juniper, willow, pistachio, oak, European nettle, plane, and poplar. Some characteristics including DBH, total height, trunk height, canopy area, health status, and geographical position were recorded. Maximum and minimum DBH belonged to plane and European nettle trees, respectively. Seven trees including pistachio, willow, European nettle, and plane require urgent attention due to injuries. In addition, the only long-lived white poplar tree is a native cultivar of the province and may be cut due to private ownership. Registered oak trees also lack natural regeneration. Willow and plane trees are present in farms and residential areas, and without exception, have the benefit of proximity to permanent water resources. Only in one case, people were cutting down small branches of trees to ward off calamity from children, livestock, and so forth.

Water is the most essential factor for life, and rivers are the main drinking source for human. Therefore, assessing the quality and management of rivers is essential for the protection and health of these rivers. Diatoms are one of the best monitoring tools used in European and American water quality monitoring programs. Due to the importance of diatoms in water quality assessment, the present study was designed and carried out to investigate the water quality of Karaj River based on diatom species and indicator diatoms for pollution. Diatom specimens were collected from the surface of the rocks at six stations along the river during 2011 to 2012 monthly. In this study, 128 species were identified and their relative abundance was calculated, of which 19 were dominant. Evaluation of water contamination based on minerals and biological oxygen demand showed that Karaj River water had moderate to very high pollution at the stations. The results of the ecology of the dominant species showed that most of these species increased with increasing organic and inorganic contamination and could be introduced as indicator diatoms for pollution. The present study is a baseline for future studies on diatom-based monitoring of mountainous rivers in the Alborz region.

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is a drought-tolerant shrub species with a height of 5 to 6 m. This plant belongs to the genus Jatropha with more than 170 species. Its seed with 30-35% oil is used in some diesel engines, cooking and lighting, and soap industries, herbicide production, and pharmaceuticals. Jetropha is native to the tropical and subtropical regions, requiring at least 250 to 300 mm of rainfall to grow. Its water requirement for flowering and fruiting stages is 1000 to 1500 mm. Leaves are damaged by high heat and hot winds, reducing the yield. Jetropha is not resistant to frost and does not tolerate shade. It performs best in medium density. The most suitable soil for jatropha is sandy-loamy with a medium texture and good weathering. Jatropha does not favor heavy soils. Weeds cause seedling dryness and weakness; thus the weeds must be weeded twice a year. The results of studies in Iran showed that the plant propagation is possible through seeds, cuttings and tissue culture, which is compatible with Sahara - Sindi regions but faces cold restriction in other regions. Its water requirement is moderate and the shortage of rainfall must be provided through irrigation. Jatropha is a relatively salinity-tolerant species, and increasing salinity (more than 50 mM) causes reduced yield. No pest and disease were recorded on Jatropha in Iran.

Sabalan: a symbol of biodiversity and high peaks of South Caucasus-Iran

Sabalan is the third highest peak in Iran and one of the high mountain ranges of the South Caucasus in Iran. The Sabalan Mountain has three famous peaks, whose great peak is called the Savalan Sultan, located at an altitude of 4811 meters above sea level. The other two peaks are the Heram and Kasra located on the northern and southern sides of the main peak. The Sabalan peak is in the list of natural national treasures of the country with the registration number 12 /19496. This ecosystem is rich in plant and animal species due to its biodiversity, valleys and slopes. The presence of alpine, subalpine, and some endemic species is a feature of the Sabalan ecosystem. High peaks over 4,000 meters above sea level with glaciers has provided the grounds for the formation of meadows, unique landscapes and consequently, good conditions for the range management, beekeeping, tourism and mountaineering. The nomadic community of Elsuvan (Shahsuvan) is the only population in the area exploiting rangelands. Regarding the damages caused in Sabalan due to overgrazing, climate change, exploitation of medicinal plants in natural habitats, development of the road system in these mountains and tourism programs, the necessity of reviewing the environmental management of the area and paying attention to the sustainable exploitation of the Sabalan ecosystem is very important and a matter of necessity and urgency.

Astragalus safavii is an endemic species in Iran and it is distributed in the marl lands between Tabriz and Ahar cities in East Azerbaijan province. The conservation status of this species was studied based on the criteria of the international union for conservation of nature (IUCN). The GPS device was used to determine the area of occupancy of the species. The extent of occurrence of the species was calculated using Geocat software. Also, to determine the number of mature individuals, several plots were located in the habitat and their number was counted. This species is evaluated as critically endangered (CR) due to three criteria of extent of occurrence, area of occupancy and number of mature individuals. Field observations showed that livestock grazing and soil erosion due to water flow were the factors threatening this species. In order to protect and prevent the extinction of this species, seed collection and preservation in the gene bank, plant propagation and planting in botanical gardens, seeding in the main habitat, enclosure and soil stabilization by planting perennial species are recommended.
