This article reviews research findings on the application of petroleum-based mulches as an effective method for stabilizing shifting sands in Iran’s arid regions. These mulches form a surface layer that prevents wind erosion, conserves soil moisture, and promotes vegetation establishment. The paper highlights the benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from past sand dune stabilization projects using this technique.

In this study, the effect of penetration and temperature changes on the performance specifications of bitumen was investigated experimentally. In this regard, it was ensured that the bitumen was obtained from a constant raw material and oxidation process at different times from the reactor. Experiments were carried out on bitumen with different penetration
