conditions, their general characteristics, methods of management,
conservation, exploitation and reclamation. It also focuses on how
to utilize the potential of arid lands with the minimum
manipulation and alteration. Arid and semi-arid areas represent a
major part of natural ecosystems not only in Iran, but around the
world, and mismanagement and inappropriate exploitation of these
areas may lead to further gradual degradation. As such, an
understanding of the characteristics of these areas is vital if
they are to be conserved and reclaimed.

Good punctuation is crucial for successful academic writing. Many
students' essays use little punctuation beyond commas and full
stops. But to be restricted to just two forms of punctuation mark,
when writing your essay, is like building a house using only a
hammer and a saw: you can do it;but not very well.By learning to
use more, or all, of the available forms of punctuation you will be
able to communicate and express your ideas, and arguments, more
clearly.
