Abstract
An approach for regional low flow frequency analysis is to use multiple regression techniques for obtaining relationships between low flows with specific return periods and catchments characteristics. In this paper, this method has been used. After single-site frequency analysis for 20 stream gauging stations, homogeneity test was performed. Regional relationships between low flows with return periods 2 , 5 , 10, and 20 years and catchments characteristics were derived.
For this purpose, catchment area, mean elevation, minimum elevation, shape factor, main channel length, length of main chanel from catchment centroid to outlet, forest area, mean annual rainfall, and mean catchment slope as model inputs were examined and cachment area, mean elevation, and mean catchment slope entered to the models. Finally, the mean relative error of models for different return period, 2, 5, 10, and 20 years, was computed 41.1, 41.3, 45.0, 47.2 percent, respectively that in comparison with other studies, it displays smaller errors.

Abstract
In order to detect genetic variation of native fowls in Mazandaran native Fowls breeding station, blood samples were collected from 100 male and female of birds (1:11). The DNA of the blood samples was extracted according to an optimized salting out protocol. The extracted DNA was amplified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of the twenty random primers (10 mer) were used in this study, fourteen yielded satisfactory PCR. The total 63 polymorphic and 77 monomorphic bands were detected for the 14 primers. The number of bands displayed for each primer ranged from 4 to 16 with 200-2100 base pairs. The highest and lowest percentages of polymorphism band were observed for primer 9 (72%) and primer 14 (16%) respectively. The band sharing frequency was calculated for each primer, which ranged from 79 to 96. The genetic similarity within population and genetic variation were estimated as 89 and 11 percentage respectively. In conclusion, the existence of high level of polymorphism after ten generation of selection may indicate the accuracy of genetic evaluation program, suitable selection strategies and also large enough effective population size in this breeding flock.

Abstract
Blast, caused by Magnaprthe grisea, is often an important fungal disease in the production of rice in temperate and tropical areas including Iran. To determine reaction of rice cultivars against blast disease, 40 rice genotypes from Iran and other sources from Asia were selected. Four blast isolates from different races were used to test all rice genotypes in different greenhouse tests. In blast nursery, experiments were conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. In different experiments inoculated plant materials were evaluated for Infected Neck Number(INN), Neck Lesion Size(NLS), Infection Type(IT), Diseased Leaf Area(DLA), Area Under the Disease Progress Curve(AUDPC), Lesion Number(LN), and Sporulating Region Diameter(SRD). Most of the Iranian traditional cultivars together with CO-39 and C104-PKT showed susceptible reaction for AUDPC, IT, INN and NLS. Performance of improved cultivars from Iran, IRRI and NILs (except C104-PKT) was resistant. Some cultivars including Fujiminori, Onda , Hassan saraii were moderatly susceptible to leaf blast in blast nursery. All components of resistance in both growing stages in greenhouse and nursery tests were significantly correlated. In some cases such as cultivar Haraz different reaction was observed in seedling and flowering stages, indicating that genetics of resistance in two stages could be different.

Abstract
In this research, the logging and wood extraction damages caused by wood and paper companies was investigated. The average volume per hectare of compartments 17 and 28 of Waston watershed and Compartment 7 of Alandan watershed was more than 150 cubic meters. So, these compartments were selected as the suitable research sites. The systematic randomized sampling method with 1000 m2 circular plots was used to assess the damages to residual stands and 100 m2 circular plots was used to assess the damages to regeneration. Sampling in skid trail was done with one hundred percent inventory method with a width of 12 meter. Results of this study indicated that 3.2 percent of regeneration was damaged in felling and bucking operations and 4.8 percent of regeneration was also damaged after winching and skidding operations. Most of these damages occurred for thicket stage. The felling and bucking operations damaged 13.6 percent of the residual stand. The amount of damage to the stand after skidding including the whole logging damages equals 15.5 percent. Unnecessary damages to stand and regeneration could have been avoided by selecting the best harvesting method, skidding practices, adequate incentives/disincentives and appropriate supervision.

Abstract
Land and its size are important as the most basic factors of production in agriculture .Fragmentation is one of the main problems that rice producers of Mazandaran province are confronted with. Non-efficiency in farm management, inability in effective using of agriculture technology and machinery, and low range productivity of production are all related to land fragmentation. In order to overcome the problems and consequences originating from land fragmentation, specialists recommend the logical solution of land consolidation process, which is a basic strategy for changing the farm size. The purpose of this research was to identify and determine effective factors in land consolidation adoption by rice producers in Mazandaran province by using Logit Regression model. In this study, 150 rice producers from 5 villages have been investigated since 2007. Results show that variables of education, land quality, fragment distance and extension effort (learning programs) are the most important factors in land consolidation adoption by rice producers in this province (Sig=1%) . Also, number of the household and credit support are the next factors affecting in land consolidation adoption (Sig= 5%). I t must be noted that other variable such as age, farmer’s income, children education, experience of rice producers, cultivation area, membership in cooperatives, land situation, number of pieces and technical supports were not significantly involved.

Abstract
In order to investigate the effects of furrow irrigation and amount of irrigation water on yield and water use efficiency of corn, an experiment was conducted as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for a period of two years at Agriculture Center of Mazandaran. Treatments included three levels of 100, 80 and 60 percent water requirement as the main treatments, and three irrigation methods included fixed every-other- furrow, alternative every-other- furrow and every-furrow irrigation as the subsidiary treatments. Statistical analysis of the results of two years' data showed that treatment with 100% water requirement with every-furrow irrigation and treatment with 60% irrigation water requirement with fixed every-other-furrow had the highest and lowest yield, respectively. The highest water use efficiency was in 60 percent irrigation water requirement with a fixed every-other- furrow treatment and the lowest water use efficiency was related to the treatment with 100 percent irrigation water requirement with alternative every-other- furrow. The value of ky was obtained 0.8 for the total growth stage.

Abstract
Sand and gravel mining from the most of our country rivers causes morphological, hydrological and geomorphological changes in these rivers. This study investigates the effects of removal of sand and gravel from the river bed on sedimentological features of Zaremrood River in Mazandaran province. For this purpose, by determining four sections before and four sections after the sand removing point, the river bed sediments sampling in combined approach and in a plot within the river were performed and sedimentology features such as the large, medium and small diameters (a, b and c), roundness (Rc), form factor (Sf), normal diameter (D), sphericity (S), and width ratio (W), were measured and calculated in the laboratory and analyzed by SPSS software. The results showed that the variations of sediment statistics a, b, c, Sf, D, S and W in the pre- and post- harvest location has a significant difference but the Rc statistic does not show any significant difference. The reduction of the triple diameters after the excavation site is caused by the fracture of the sediments in the mining area, so that the sphericity of grains also decreased in the mining area. Roundness of sediment particles after the excavation site is decreasing up to 600 meters reach and then it tends to increase.

Abstract
In the vast majority parts of the Earth, a prospect now visible is the mostly synthetic thinking and fabrication by the human hand. Collision and impact of humans on the natural environment in the short and long-term courses for obvious geographical features have changed a variety of spaces. One of the consequences of human impact on the natural environment during the current period is the phenomenon of climate change. One of the climatic parameters that plays an important role in agriculture, energy, urban, tourism and road transport is the minimum temperature. In this study, an attempt was made using the minimum temperature data from 5 meteorological stations in the West Mazandaran province, as well as HADCM3 model data, to show how to change this parameter in the future periods based on simulation by the SDSM model. Accordingly, after selection of the suitable climate variables and model calibration, the accuracy of the created model in the base period was evaluated; after ensuring the sufficient accuracy of the model according to A2 and B2 scenario, data minimum temperature in 2100 was simulated. Based on the simulation results showed that the values of minimum temperature in the region over the coming years would increase. This parameter was such that the average seasonal periods 2016 to 2039, 2040 to 2069 and 2070 to 2099, as compared to the baseline period would increase, on average, by 1.8, 3.5 and 6 percent. The largest increases in the minimum temperature in the western and southern parts of the region could occur. It was also found that unlike other months of the year, the minimum temperature in January would be a decreasing trend.

Abstract
Today, many countries, including Iran, face natural hazards such as ground subsidence, drought, floods, and acute water shortage. Lack of correct management of underground water resources leads to many of these natural hazards. Artificial recharge of aquifers is one of the solutions proposed in the world to deal with these natural hazards, especially ground subsidence. The quantitative and qualitative effects of the effluent treatment plant on the Damaneh Daran Aquifer recharge were investigated in this research. The results showed that aquifer recharge through the distribution of effluents in the Damaneh Daran River has a positive effect on increasing the water level and releasing effluents in the river will enhance the water level in a larger radius regardless of the quality of the effluents. Based on the result of the present study, it is suggested that all the effluent treatment plants be allocated to aquifer balancing in the future. In the part of replacing wastewater with active wells, due to the lack of wells with industrial and green area use in this region, provided advanced wastewater treatment, all wastewater should be replaced with active wells in the agricultural area.
