Abstract
The Desert and Kavir (salt pan) are two familiar words for the Iranians, which unfortunately most people do not know in real terms and often consider as synonymous, while these two are different in terms of their conditions of formation, their influential processes and their current conditions, so that it can be said that deserts are geographic-climatic phenomena, that is, their geographic conditions on the one hand and their geographic-based climatic conditions on the other hand affect them and transform these areas into poor and fragile ecosystems, while salt pans are formed in the vicinity of the deserts and sometimes among them, lack vital ecosystem, and are basically geomorphologic-hydrological phenomena. This means that salt pans are holes that the hydrographic networks end in, and that high level of groundwater and the presence of a salt layer that prevents the growth of the plant at the surface are among their features.
