However, the Gachsaran formation showed uniformity changes compared to acidic precipitation and showed positive effects on slope aspect and rain intensity and interactive effect of slope aspect and rain intensity in almost all three concentrations. In addition, by increasing the amount of soil permeated with acid rains, the amount of soil porosity increased, this case was due to this type of contamination on the main ingredients of soil and washing soil bonds. Of course, slope aspect different amounts of clays in both Aghajari and Gachsaran formations, is more influenced by soil permeability than acidic precipitations. The existence of different organic matter in the main aspects of the slopes, especially in the northern and eastern slope aspects, creates a more complex situation in electrical charge changes, which necessitates further research to understand this complex mechanism. Conclusion: In general, by increasing the acidic degree and increasing the penetration time, soil properties were changed, including the resistance characteristics and bearing capacity of the soil, which in turn, due to the amount of clay and different organic matter, caused more influence of acidic precipitation on soil permeability.","PeriodicalId":11919,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73334426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Horticultural and irrigated agriculture land use and mountainous land use decreased by 1.2 and 1.5%, respectively, in 2004 compared to 1993. The land-use area of residential and non-residential construction and barren lands have continued to increase in 2019. The area of these land uses increased by 1.1 and 2.4%, respectively. Finally, it can be said that from 1993 to 2019, horticultural, agricultural, mountainous, and rangeland uses have been transformed into residential and non-residential construction uses and barren lands. This land conversion has negative consequences for the region's future. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the automatic cell model and Markov chain have a high ability to predict future land-use changes. Also, the largest increase in land use was related to residential and non-residential construction and barren lands, and other land uses such as garden lands and irrigated and mountainous agriculture. Rangeland experienced a decrease in area in the region. Therefore, planners should consider this extensive urban growth and development to carry out their plans more efficiently.","PeriodicalId":11919,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81792795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental Sciences. 19(4): 183-204. Results and discussion: The results showed that the random forest algorithm with the area under the ROC curve of 0.9228 compared to the support vector machine and multilayer perceptron neural network algorithms with 0.8951 and 0.8726, respectively, had a better performance in estimating the change potential of non-urban to urban areas. Furthermore, in comparison with others, the random forest also clearly showed local variations in potential change. Finally, the growth of Tabriz city was simulated using the cellular automata model based on the obtained change potential maps. Comparison of the prediction map in the validation period with the current situation of urban areas in 2015 showed that the accuracy of an urban growth simulation model based on random forest with a Figure of Merit index of 0.3569 compared to models based on support vector machine and artificial neural network was more accurate in allocating non-urban to urban lands with 0.3496 and 0.3434, respectively. Conclusion: As machine learning algorithms such as artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and random forest are capable of solving non-linear problems, using them is strongly recommended for urban growth simulation. Also, among the algorithms used in this research, the random forest algorithm based on ensemble learning has a higher advantage than the two-support vector machine and the artificial neural network algorithms.","PeriodicalId":11919,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83095256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate decreasing habitat suitability for the studied species in both periods (the last ice age until now and now until 2050). Conclusion: Understanding the factors influencing the suitability of wildlife habitats is essential. Some changes due to rapid ecosystem manipulation are seen in the new distribution of birds.

Conclusion: The results of the study indicate the onset of the highest stresses in the plant ecosystem of the region and the simultaneous decline in leaf cover and NDVI with the water intake of Gotvand Dam since 2011. This coincidence, which is due to the salinity of the water of Gotvand Dam Lake and consequently Karun River, has a significant effect on increasing salinity and changes in soil quality of the region and thus increasing halophyte plants as well as high vegetation degradation in the region. These conditions can create more serious challenges for the ecosystem of this area and in the long period change the ecosystem and vegetation cover of this region to halophyte plants.","PeriodicalId":11919,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90644087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
