Azad Rastegar
My research interests focus on plant diversity, systematic botany (Asteraceae, Plumbaginaceae, Campanulaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Sapindaceae, and Liliaceae families), phytogeography, distribution patterns, species distribution modeling, and climate change effects on ecosystems. Due to my personal interests in field trips, during the last 10 years, I made a good collection of plants from all geographic regions of Iran and the north of Iraq.
