Description |
1927-1938
A study has been carried out to query of suitable places for planting and restoration of unique Lilium ledebourii species within the frontiers of its natural habitat. Firstly, the digital layers influencing the query of this species including altitude above the sea level, slope, aspect layer, soil, and climate were determined using GIS. Then, a unique map for the land form was obtained by overlaying the layers of altitude, slope and aspect layer. Through overlaying the layer of the land form map and the layer of soil type, environmental units’ map of level one was obtained. In the next stage, this map and the annual precipitation average layer and the region’s climate were overlaid and the final map of the environmentally homogenous regions was obtained. Produced layers were separated in the GIS to give the appropriate conditions for the growth of Lilium ledebourii. The results showed that the 19 regions with an approximate area of about 1,500 hectares were suitable for the planting of this species, and all of these regions are located in the surroundings of the current natural site of this species. |
