Canopy gaps are one of the most important structural features of forest ecosystems, and studying of them can have useful results and implications for forest management. The aim of this study is investigation of characteristics and regeneration within canopy gaps in an intact beech stand in the Shastkalateh Experimental Forest of Hyrcanian region, north of Iran. All canopy gaps and related fores...

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...

This study was made to determine surface characteristics such as colour, gloss, and hardness changes of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). The wood specimens were firstly impregnated with some fire-retardants (FRs) primed epoxy resin (EPR) then coated polyurethane/polyurea hybrid (PUU). 3 % aqueous solution boric acid (BA), borax (BX), mixture (1:1), ammonium sulphate (AS). While Sikafloor®-15...

In this study which has been conducted in Akçasu Forest Range District of Devrek Forest Directorate; 3 methods (weed control with labourer power, cover removal with Hitachi F20 Excavator, and weed control with agricultural equipment mounted on a Ferguson 240S agriculture tractor) were utilized in weed control efforts in regeneration of degraded oriental beech forests have been compared. In this...

the oriental beech constitute one third of northern forests area and stocking volume in the north ofiran. these stands obseve in pure and mixed. in order to properly management which guaranteesustained yield, it is crucial to collect basic information including stocking (volume and stem number),tree growth, diameter distribution pattern, diameter-height relationship, diameter-volume relationshi...
