Abstract

Nature is always at the risk of natural and non-natural injury and damages. Therefore the effort should be for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the nature after natural disaster including floods.
In this study, the mechanisms are proposed to improve the damaged ecosystem components which are damaged by the flood. Components of ecosystem, including vegetations and soil ecosystem, are major injuries after disasters such as floods. Golestan National Park is one of the environments damaged by the flood. Thus improvement of soil and vegetation and other important components of the National Park and Biosphere are necessary.
In this study, applied methods of ecological rehabilitation have been described for soil, forest and vegetation, and river. Then, research has been done on damaged ecosystem of Golestan National Park, before and after flood. These methods have been modified and proposed based nature and adaptation to natural conditions.
