        Introduction: The growth and high population density in urban areas and the production of all kinds of domestic and industrial pollutants resulted many consequences on the sustainability of the environment and its biological capacity as well as the quality of human life in urban communities. Ecological footprint assessment is one of the methods of measuring sustainable development in urban societies, which is used to measure sustainability in the world. The purpose of this research is to measure the sustainability of Abadan city using the ecological footprint method. Materials and Methods: This research was carried out by using the descriptive-analytical method and by applying the ecological footprint calculation model proposed by Rees and Walkernagel in order to determine the amount of land needed by the residents of Abadan city. The data of this research was mainly quantitative and collected by two documentary and field methods. The studied community included 384 households living in Abadan city and using the statistics and data of the relevant organizations with the subject of research and national statistics and yearbooks. The cluster random sampling method was based on the ten Abadan manicipal regions. Then, the ecological footprint index of food consumption, the amount of carbon dioxide production due to transportation and heating from natural gas, the amount of water consumption, the amount of electricity consumed and the amount of produced waste were calculated. Results and Discussion: Calculations showed that the largest footprint was related to electricity consumption (4252 m2) per person and the lowest related to waste (21 m2) for each citizen. Footprint index of water 56, natural gas 450 , gasoil 3770, petrol 1484 and food 1232 square meters per citizen and the total ecological footprint was calculated 1.12 hectares . Conclusion: The results showed the region climate and the activity of oil industries cause high consumption of energy input increased in hot seasons and the traffic of diesel vehicles because of industries in Abadan increase, So the consumption of diesel fuel is more than gasoline. Although the total per capita ecological footprint of Abadan is less than the world average (1.8 hectares), but the total ecological footprint per population is 5.5% more than the urban environment's carrying capacity, and this requires optimal management of resources and matching this potential with population and resource consumption.

        Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the management of simultaneous catch season and spawning period of giant cuttlefish and determine a new solution for optimal management for conservation and continuity of fisheries in the region. Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from the catches of traditional gear of traps at landing places of Bushehr and Khuzestan. 100 to 150 samples were randomly selected and sorted by sex. Reproductive status in males and females were studied using gonadosomatic index (GSI) and statistical calculations. Results: The result of GSI in males and females indicated the highest reproductive activity in February and March, and then reproductive activities were reduced in both sexes. Sex ratio was ½ and Chi-squared (X2) tests gave for both sexes, indicating that the ratio of males to females was significantly different (p> 0.5). The results of present study show that opening period of the giant cuttlefish in the studied area is simultaneous with maximum spawning period of the species. Based on the results of the present study, it is necessary to develop a new management for exploitation of the giant cuttlefish in the area.     Manuscript profile

        This research was carried out to study the effects of chemical and biological fertilizers (manure and vermicompost), as well as their combinations on the quality and quantity of the essential oil content and composition of S. khuzestanica in Zagros Botanical Garden of Agricultural and Natural Resource Research Center of Lorestan based on a complete random block design with 3 replications in 3 years, during 2016-2020. There were 24 plots of 3x3in the study, 100 cm away from each other, in which the plants were sown art a distance of 50 cm. The experimental treatments included 50 kg/ha of NPK (50, 25, 25), animal manure (30 and 60 tons/ha), vermicompost (5 tons/ha), and a combination of NPK combination and animal manure and vermicompost, all applied only once at the planting stage. During the flowering stage, shoots were harvested and their essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation.  The essential oils were then analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that the effects of year and interaction of year and fertilizer on the percentage of essential oil were significant at p≤0.05 and p≤0.01, respectively. Furthermore, the maximum essential oil percentage and oil yield in S. khuzistanica were 5.4% and 433 kg/ha with NPK + M60 treatment during the third year. Carvacrol (93.1-88.8, 96.0-89.6,94.9-88.8 percent) was the most important composition of the essential oil in all treatments and years of the experiment. In general, the nutritional treatments increased the amount of essential oil and carvacrol compared to the control, and during the three years of testing, the yield of dry weight and therefore essential oil increased. The results of this research indicated that the use of organic fertilizers alone or in combination with chemical fertilizers has a positive effect on improving the essential oil yields, and the use of integrated nutrition method for S. khuzestania is economic.

        In recent decades, more and more cities have expanded rapidly and have raised as an undeniable fact. The national and regional metropolises, with its focus on facilities and infrastructure, the main hub of the population have become attractive. Negligence of the urban system and the urban sprawl growth uncontrollable urbanization and fragmentation causes an imbalance in the country's urban system. The growing trend of urbanization includes migration, rural - urban and economic development - social causes and uneven pattern of urban networks.This leads to the creation of the first urban phenomenon and is an imbalance in the urban space. The purpose of this study was to analyze the urban system by using the first city in Khuzestan province, rank - size, the class difference, the entropy coefficient and Lorenz curve. The method used in this research is a quantitative – analytic method. The results indicate an imbalance in the regression slope in the hierarchy of a city in Khuzestan province. This imbalance between the ages of 65 and 85 and 75 years less was more. The first city in the province  was of 35 to 55 years in declining to rule .But in 65 years, the first town in the province due to issues arising from the war  was greatly increased. First city in 75 years has fallen slightly but rises again in 85 years. Entropy calculations indicate an increase in the concentration of 35 to 85 years in Khuzestan province. So that the entropy factor of 0.747 to 0.692 at 35 years is 85 years. Manuscript profile

        Climate change due to global warming cause a lot of concern that requires comprehensive and reciprocal world wide action. The agricultural sector is one of the most dependent sectors on the climate, in the production cycle and food security of Iran, with a dry and hot climate is at a higher risk of global damages for these climate changes. Moreever, the major sugarcane industries of Iran are located in Khuzestan province which climatic variables in this region have recorded drastic and increasing changes procedure. In this article the effects of climate change on sugarcane industry in Khuzestan are studied (1971-2020). The usage of Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), an econometric model, helped examining the effect of climate factors such as temperature and precipitation on production. The results depicts a nonlinear relation between the climatic factors temperature and precipitation and production. As a matter of fact, the nonlinear relation in the form of an inverted U-shape in the graph shows the importance of climate change on agricultural production. The government's ownership of Khuzestan's sugarcane cultivation and the assignment of exclusive rights should provide maximum productivity, but not achieving an ideal goal. In conclusion, because of the negative effects of climate change on sugarcane production, it, is highly recommended to 1) Limit human intervention in nature, 2) Utilize varieties of other crops which are more resilientistant to climate change, 3) Alternate the cultivation patteren,and finally (4) To consider supportive policies in this matter to cope with the effects of climate change .

        The genus Satureja belongs to the family of lamiaceae, this genus contains about 235 species which 16 species of this genus exist in Iran of which 9 species are endemic. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the essential oil composition, phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of essential oil of Satureja khuzestanica. Aerial parts of S.khuzestanica were collected from the natural habitat of the plant in Khuzestan province and dried and powdered. Essential oil was obtained by hydro distillation using Clevenger for 3 hr and dried by sodium solphat anhydrous. The weight percentage of essential oil was 3.18%. Essential oil components were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). 43 compounds were identified in the S. khuzestanica essential oil comprised 99.96% of total. Major compounds were: carvacrol (77.21%), γ-Terpinene (6.43%), α-Farnesene (2.30%), and p-Cymene (2.24%). Phenolic compounds were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and antioxidant activity was performed DPPH method. The results showed that the phenolic compounds of S.khuzestanica 25.52±1.35 mg Gallic acid per gram of dry matter and amount of antioxidant activity of the plant was 8.12±0.22 µg per ml. Antimicrobial activities were tested against Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans by disc diffusion method according to a factorial test, based on Randomized Complet Design with three replications. The results showed that the essential oil of the plant has high antimicrobial effect against micro-organisms were investigated and inhibitory effect on C. albicans was greater than Escherichia coli.   Manuscript profile

        Heavy metals, due to their indestructible nature, pose a serious threat to the health of aquatic animals as well as humans if a high concentration of them accumulates in the tissues of aquatic organisms. For this purpose, the present study was done with the aim of investigating native Bunni and Shabout fishes in tropical fish breeding farms of Khuzestan province with the perspective of contamination by heavy metals and risk assessment for consumers. In present study, the concentration level of thirteen heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, mercury, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, lead, tin and zinc), in the muscle tissue of (Mesopotamichthyssharpeyi) and (Barbus gryous) was measured. The results of this study showed that there were no significant difference between the concentration of heavy metals measured in Bunni and Shabout fishes. The findings of the research indicated that iron and arsenic had the highest and lowest concentrations in the muscle tissue of Bunni and Shabout fishes, respectively. Comparison of measured heavy metals with international health standards showed that the concentration of all metals except lead were significantly lower than the permissible limit (p < 0.05). The concentration of lead was significantly higher than the permissible limit (p < 0.05). The assessment of health risk showed that daily and continuous consumption of these products by consumers is completely safe, except for cadmium and lead and there is no risk for them. The average concentration of all measured metals except lead were lower than international standards. The estimation of daily intake of all measured heavy metals except cadmium and lead were less than global standards. The estimation of daily intake in all metals except cadmium and lead showed that the consumption of Shabout and Bunni fish currently does not pose a risk to human health, however, in order to prevent possible contamination in the future, management should pay more attention to these pollutants and their possible sources.

        Soil salinization and sodification caused by salt accumulation are the common phenomena that manifest in irrigated agriculture in arid and semiarid regions, and reclamation of salt-affected soils has become an important tool for improving crop production. The irrigated agriculture is suffering severe secondary salinization. A large quantity of irrigated land has been abandoned due to salt accumulation which is threatening local environment and socio-economy. The aims of this research was evaluation of empirical desalinization models of saline soils, and determining the appropriate model for soil reclamation at these sites. For this purpose, two experimental areas (Sl, S2) of north-Ahwaz at Khuzestan province, Iran were selected and four treatments with three replications by series of double rings were applied. The treatments were included 25, 50, 75 and 100 cm water application. It was concluded that 87.12 and 84.54% of initial salinity in pilots S1 and S2 was removed by 100 cm water leaching at one meter layer of soil, respectively. In this study, 18 empirical models were compared by using initial and final values of electrical conductivity (EC) relation to net leaching water depth to soil depth. The results showed that cubic and exponential models were the best models with high correlation and accuracy in pilots S1 and S2, respectively. Manuscript profile
