Etude pédoécologique de l'Iran Central

In the following note we have been trying to study the central part of Iran. The major part of this country is arid or semiarid and the average annual rainfall decreases to less than 100 mm. Vegetation varies according to climate. The soils of this aera are Solontchaks, Solonetz, Sierozem, saline allucial and colluvial soils, and lithosol soils. Problems to be solved if the soils of central Iran are to be used productively, are salinity and alkalinity of soils, water and wind erosion, indequacy or lack of organic matter..Alimardani M., Aryavand A.
