evaluating the forest stands structure in different development stages is one of the ways for better understanding the forest dynamics and its response to natural disturbances. this study was carried out in the compartment 319, kheiroud forest in order to quantify the structure properties of mixed beech stands in the stem exclusion phase. for this purpose, three one-hectare sample plots were se...

the non-destructive meyer method was evaluated to determine the bark volume of beech (fagus orientalis lipsky) stands in north of iran. the sample size was 185 standing trees collected from 4 geographical aspects (north, south, west and east) aspects. the constant k values and bark thickness (2e mm) of 185 standing trees were used to calculate the bark volume by the meyer method. in this study,...

investigation on structure and dynamics of natural forest ecosystems is an important issue for silvicultural decisions. the aim of this study is to analysis dynamics and structure of a beech stand during 5-year period in the shast kalateh forest in the caspian region, north of iran. data were collected from a 16.9ha permanent research plot established in a natural unlogged stand in 2006. all li...

pruning of the plant canopy and paclobutrazol application to the root zone are agronomic practices that improve harvest yield in mango (mangifera indica l.) orchards. to assess the effect of pruning and paclobutrazol treatment on the vegetative and reproductive development of ‘ataulfo’ mango, three pruning dates (20 april, 20 may, and 20 june) and three concentrations of paclobutrazol (pbz) (7....

in this research resistance of six tree species to logging damages (bole wound) after 12 years were studied in district 1 of asalem nav forests. the data of extent and severity of damages on residual trees were collected immediately after logging operation from systematic sampling with circular 0.1 ha plots in the year of 2000. the damaged trees and wounds condition were reexamined in the year ...
