| Abstract | |
| Natural events like flood and drought waste a noticeable part of capitals in agriculture sector. Undesirable conditions caused by non-harmonious investment and depreciation and also distortion caused by natural events lead to intensified trend of decreasing gross fixed capitals in agriculture sector. Forests and pastures play different rules like as refining the weather, preventing soil erosion and providing wild ecosystem. Decreasing forest area and exploiting pastures used for fuel or grazing livestock lead to soil erosion and reduce agronomic lands fertility. Therefore, in order to correct national product, depreciation of natural resources should be subtracted from gross national product exactly like physical investment. In this research, depreciation of forests and pastures and their share in gross domestic product were measured in thirdeconomic, social and cultural development plan. Moreover, economic growth was adjusted based on environmental concerns (forest and pasture depreciation). Results showed that depreciation of forests and pastures reduce 4 percent in average over the period and gross domestic product growth was overestimated 0.6 percent. In addition, plans for reducing forest and pasture depletion did not perfrom proper results. | |
