Abstract
Vegitation cover is one of the important environmetal factors which can determine desert areas. In this article, we determine desert areas in Tehran province by GIS. In the study area, dominant plant types and some of main ecological properties of them were assigned. Finally, by available information and public characteristics of every plant type, desert area was separated. In this area, we distinguish 43 plant groups that 7 types of them belong to desert areas. This area is 307647 hectares which is formed 16.43 % of Tehran province.
