The field monitoring of influential biodeteriogenic agents on the historic rock surfaces in Persepolis-UNESCO World Heritage Site

A study at Persepolis identified key biodeteriogenic agents that threaten the historic rock surfaces. These agents, which include biological and environmental factors, were found to significantly contribute to the deterioration of the site's archaeological features. The research employed field monitoring techniques to assess the impact of these agents over time, providing critical insights into their role in the degradation process. This work highlights the urgent need for targeted conservation strategies to protect this culturally significant landmark from further damage.
