Providing Appropriate Biological Plans for the Management and Restoration of the Poshttaveh Watershed

Knowledge about vegetation cover and rangelands is the first and most important means of understanding rangeland ecosystems for proper management and optimal use of watersheds, accepted by all relevant departments in this field. This study was conducted in the Bahmai section of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province with an area of 1068.54 hectares to provide a suitable biological management plan for the restoration of the watershed according to the natural factors and ecological conditions of the region. After the integration of basic maps in GIS software, a map of biological operations was prepared based on the physical and ecological characteristics of working units. Planting, seeding, enclosure, intercropping, and conservation are for the study area biological programs that have been found suitable. The results obtained from the specifications of the working units of the basin were presented to decide and choose the best management plans according to the characteristics of the operational units by dividing the area of each management plan. Also, most of the area of the proposed operation is dedicated to grazing management and conservation, and due to the unfavorable conditions of the area for agriculture, agricultural lands have the lowest share in terms of area.
