  Background and Objective: Regarding to importance and widespread of wild Pistachio in arid and semi-arid regions and problems of germination, this study was conducted to identify effect of physiography on seed germination of Pistacia vera in Khajeh Kalat Forest, northeast of Iran (N 36°54' - 36°64', E 54°35' - 54°45'). Material and Methodology: To do so land unit map was provided and sampling was done based on land units. Then, sampled seeds from 23 sampling unites were transferred to seed physiology lab for operational experiments. After operational experience, germination percent, germination value and mean time to germination for each unit were determined. Findings: The results showed that germination percent of pistachio seeds has had significant positive correlation with altitude, but hasn’t had significant correlation with slope and aspect (p<0.01). Correlation between germination value and altitude wasn’t significant, while slope and aspect have had significant correlation with germination value (p<0.01). Discussion and Conclusion:  Regarding to results, germination percent in high altitudes was more than low altitudes. Germination value in law altitude and 0-30 percent slope was more than other aspects and slopes. Seeds that were collected from north and south aspects and above 60 percent slope have had more germination value than other aspects and slopes. Mean time to germination for east aspect and 30-60 percent slopes were less than other aspects and slopes.   Manuscript profile

  The mine area is located in 65km north of Kashmar(Khorasan-e-Razavi province-East Iran)and it forms a part of northeast of Central Iran zone. This area consists of Paleogene terrigenoussediments containing of shale, marl, sandstone and conglomerate with interlayers of pyroclasticrocks that age of sediments are belonged to Eocene. The faults with East-West trending(parallelwith Doruneh main fault) influenced the region and the formation of this deposit. The mineralogy of deposit is simple and consists of quartz, calcite, stibnite, pyrite, gold, realgar and orpiment. The main type alternations are arjillic, sericitic, pyritization, silicifcation and carbonatization. Field observations, petrography and paragenetic sequences indicate that mineralizationis happened in epithermal vein system. Manuscript profile

  3 - Historical Establishments of Drinking Water Supply in the Afshari Period (Kalat Naderi and Khesht Village)

  Iranians have sanctified water in various ways. Either in the selection of the goddess Nahid as the guardian of water in ancient times or by celebrating it by setting up numerous water storages and with magnificent facades in different regions in the Islamic era. However, Nader shows us a different type of water storage in Kalat (northeast of Khorasan). He ordered the construction of numerous storage ponds (360) in the valleys around Khesht and Gro in a stepped manner. Of course, in this way, it works in harmony with the natural conditions of the region. His water supply facility in Kalat was also done with clay and stone canals, and the water of Qarasu was moving in the fountains around Khurshid mansion for a while. Manuscript profile

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of climatic conditions on the genesis and morphological diversity of karst rocks of carbonate formations in Kalat Basin in the east of Kopeh Dagh. For this purpose, the experimental method (geomorphometric overlap) based on climatic zoning model and laboratory studies (calcimetric and lime purity percentage) have been used. In the research process, first, the climatic zoning map of the basin was prepared through 25 stations with a statistical period of 35 years in the GIS environment and four climatic zones of the region were determined. Then, using geomorphometric techniques, ground samples were collected on 240 samples of three types of Karen with different morphology (linear, Pitcarn and Triticar). The results showed that the more humid the climate of the karst rock, the more not only the number of carnations per unit area will increase, but also the morphological diversity and evolution will increase. In fact, climate change has a very effective role in the genesis and development of surface karst Carns and there is a direct relationship between wetter climatic zones and morphological diversity and evolution of Carns in karst-forming formations, as in the climate zone (Q4). In humid climates, a variety of linear, depth and width of linear carnivores, triticarmens and peatcarns in temperate and humid climates (Q4.Q3) located at high altitudes to three to 10 times the size of carnivores Arises in arid and semi-arid climates (Q1, Q2).

  In recent years, declining of fossil fuel reserves, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change effects have forced the global communities to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, increasing attention to biofuels as a renewable energy source. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of plant density on Jatropha seedlings growth in Balochestan climate (Bahokalat region in Chabahar). Jatropha adaptation was examined using a statistical design of randomized complete blocks at four planting densities of 1111, 1333, 2500 and 3333 plant per hectare (planting distances were 3×3, 3×2.5, 2×2 and 2×1.5 meters, respectively). Studied factors included survival percentage, total height, vigourity, collar and crown diameter. The results of one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the first year-study the vigourity of the seedlings was affected by planting distance, and the treatment with a density of 1111 plant per hectare had the best vigourity. But in the second year, survival percentage was affected by planting distance and there were no significantly difference in other parameters. In general, according to the results, it can be claimed in the first years, due to the small size of trees, intra-species competition is not much intense and the planting distance does not have much effect on the growth of planted seedlings. According to the more survival in wide planting distance, and predicting trees growth in the following years, it seems that the 3×3 planting distance is more practical and suitable.
