Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. is highly resistant to drought, soil salinity, and adverse environmental conditions. This species has been widely planted in India, Africa, and Iran due to its tolerance and potential for fodder production. Field visits were conducted to determine the distribution of Prosopis juliflora, and UTM points were recorded. The boundaries of its distribution were then plotted on Google Earth images as polygons. Additionally, the distribution level was assessed by reviewing existing records and field comparisons. The results showed that Prosopis juliflora is distributed throughout Dogonbadan (Gachsaran) County. It appears as dense afforestation and less dense plantations, especially along highways and roads, in forest parks and green spaces, and scattered across fields. Out of 275 hectares of this species, 273 hectares are covered by afforestation, and 2 hectares were established naturally. More than 80% of the distribution of this species is located at altitudes ranging from 460 to 660 meters above sea level. A comprehensive study on the growth, survival, reproduction, ecological impact, and groundwater effects of this species is recommended to inform the management and potential expansion of Prosopis juliflora, given its tropical presence and local interest.
