Desert of Iran:

The word “desert” illustrates an ecosystem with special conditions. Factors such as climatic criteria as well as soil criteria including geology, geomorphology, and soil and also the vegetation and ecology play a role in formation of deserts and particularly in Iran.
•In Iran, there are two main groups deserts: coastal deserts and inland deserts,
Coastal deserts extend in a west-east strip, alongside the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf. humid winds in these deserts, have been their main distinguishing factors from inland deserts.
The inland deserts are located in the center, east and south east of Iran, Lout desert is one of the most famous in this group, and second, is Dashte Kavir. These deserts have a surface area of 34 million hectares.

Dear Dr. Khosroshahi,
I think You would better to change your expression "Aristida pennata is a good species that growth well on sand dunes" into” Aristida pennata is a well-suited species growing on dune sands".
All the best,
An Environmentalist
