Relationship between Patterned Grounds Evolutions and Spatial and Temporal Changes in the Chemical Compounds of SAHL ABAD Playa Salt Flats (Case Study: Khorasan province) by Mahdi Saghafi

“…Due to the low rainfall and humidity of the region and the less tendency for this chemical composition to the process of dissolving, the time required to create the most prominent pattern grounds with the presence of this chemical composition in the playa surface is provided. Therefore, in pattern grounds, with less changes or relatively stable of the playa surface, the chemical composition of gypsum is overcome, with the most significant patterns due to the presence of gypsum chemical composition. 4-Conclusion The evaluation of pattern grounds according to the changes made in chemical compounds to detect environmental changes or other changes in the playa surface is an important issue that can indicate the desertification status and the severity of the risks of the expansion of the playa. …”
