Determination of growth rate and planting space of trees in urban spaces is needed for the planting design programs and land scape management. To determine the growth rate of two tree species, Chinaberry (Melia azedarach) and Mulberry (Morus alba), data was collected on different dimensions of these trees including, tree height, tree crown height and tree crown diameter at various ages at Pardi...

Tree marking can cause changes in forest. This study aimed to assess tree marking operation and to predict its effect on stand structure of Persian ironwood-hornbeam stands at Bahramnia forestry plan, north of Iran. Therefore 98 trees that were marked in compartment 9 of the mentioned forest in 2017 based on selection system and according to the recent laws of Forests, Range and Watershed Manag...

Forestry plans have been influential on tree species and planting in different ways, regulating tree species diversity. Investigation of the changes in tree species diversity and preservation livestock sustainability by using forestry inventory can be an appropriate tool for decision makers in management. Indicators such as the Shannon Wiener and Simpson indices can be used to study the variati...

It is necessary to calculate the volume increment for estimation of annual allowable cut in forestry plants. In order to compute increment of main species in district one of Dr. Bahramniaʹs forest, firstly, forest divided to four forest zonation based on basal area ratio of tree species including Fageto-Carpinetum, Carpineto-Parroetum, Parrotio- Carpinetum and Mixed types. Then, 140 circular pl...

This study was undertaken to investigate the role of forest management in tree diversity, regeneration and vegetation in control and managed parcels of series No. 1 of forestry plan in Khalil-Mahale, Behshahr. Thirty samples with an area of 1000 m2 were systematically and randomly taken with a 100 × 75 m grid in both parcels. In each plot, tree number and species type were recorded. In order to...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) images have high spatial resolution. They are a valuable source of information for mapping land cover and thematic information, particularly in the identification of tree species. The aim of this study was to investigate the capability of drone images and the base object method for detecting tree species in the Hyrcanian forests. For this purpose, part of an area...
