It is very difficult to classify forest vegetation in mountain areas because of the impact of complex terrain. A new method, classification of forest vegetation based on multi-temporal remote sensing, is proposed in this paper. The forest vegetation could get better classification precision by avoiding the interactions of different plants with multi-temporal images. So it enhanced the separabil...

for maintaining of zagros forests role in wild life, water and soil conservation, the suitable solutions and methods for assessing the existing conditions and planning for management of this forests should be given. to detection of suitable sampling method to study tree density in the northern zagros forest, blake forest, in baneeh region, kurdistan province, and west of iran was selected. 40 s...

in order to evaluate the possible correlation between the tree density and the human population density, the forested area in nav asalem district located in guilan province was selected. the descriptors of tree number and basal area per hectare as well as the stand density index were used to determine the tree density, which was conducted from a 2014 forest inventory including 62 cluster (558 p...

Monitoring of forest cover is an essential tool for sustainable management of natural resources. Woody green cover can better maintained and managed by identification of forest gaps and their subsequent refilling. Forest canopy density mapping is one of the tools used to identify such canopy openings and most useful parameter to consider in the planning and implementation of afforestation and r...

The optimum road spacing has been studied by many researches. It is an important step of forest road network planning. The goals of this study are determining the optimum road spacing in Kheiroudkenar forest of Nowshahr in Northern Iran and study of effect of kind of skidder on skidding cost and road spacing. Continues time study method was used to determine the production rate of TAF and Timbe...
