Changes in forest stand structure in a permanent plot established in Neka-Zalemroud forest plan [PDF]
A permanent sample plot with an area of 6 ha is located on mid elevation of the Neka-Zalemrood forest, south of Sari in northern Iran. After fencing the plot, a metal tag indicating tree number was installed on each tree. A full calipering was conducted,

Plastomes of nine hornbeams and phylogenetic implications [PDF]
AbstractPoor phylogenetic resolution and inconsistency of gene trees are major complications when attempting to construct trees of life for various groups of organisms. In this study, we addressed these issues in analyses of the genus Carpinus (hornbeams) of the Betulaceae.

Study of different height-diameter models for hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) in uneven-aged stands of Shastkalateh forest of Gorgan [PDF]
Projection of stand development over time relies on accurate height-diameter functions. In this study, we evaluated the capability of 18 nonlinear models to estimate hornbeam heights in a portion Shastkalateh experimental forest in Gorgan, Golestan ...

Canopy gaps characteristics of pure and mixed stands in the Hyrcanian forests of north Iran
Canopy gaps play an important role in forest ecology helping to preserve biodiversity, influence nutrient cycles, maintain the complex stand structure, and also they substantially contribute to regeneration of forests.

Quantity and quality of deadwood in the mid-successional stage in oriental Beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) stands (Case study: Kheyrood forest, Nowshahr) [PDF]
Deadwood is widely recognized as an extremely important structural and functional component of forest communities. Therefore, understanding its role and dynamics are important to improve forest management strategies in both managed and unmanaged forests.

SMART HORNBEAM STANDS (CARPINUS BETULUS L.) FROM THE WEST PLAIN [PDF]
Hornbeam is a forest tree species widespread in our country’s plain and hill areas. Hornbeam forests can also be found in the West Plain and can be classified as smart forests. This concept, used during the last decade in worldwide silviculture, involves
