during recent years, a series of climate projections provided for surface temperature increase and precipitation changes over the next century in various time slices. national institutes are using downscaling projections for more precise results. in this research study, various climate change projections in global, continental, regional and local scales have been examined in special forest ecos...

the log damage and value loss were examined by felling and bucking function, species, and damage type, in kheyrud forest in namkhaneh district in the hyrcanian forest of iran. in order to calculate the wood value following tree felling and bucking, 250 trees and 167 logs consisting of beech and hornbeam species were measured. there were five types of damage recorded following the tree felling o...

hyrcanian (caspian) forest in northern iran with many endemic and endangered species is a rich area for biodiversity. the use of ground-based skidding is well accepted practice for the extraction of timber from the forest, but this has tended to cause the greatest environmental problems. the aim of the study was to evaluate and comparison of environmental impacts, residual stand damage, regener...

In this research, we used the integration of frequency ratio and adaptive neuro-fuzzy modeling (ANFIS) to predict landslide susceptibility along forest road networks in Hyrcanian Forest, northern Iran. We began our study by first mapping locations during an extensive field survey. addition, then selected landslide-conditioning factors, such as slope, aspect, altitude, rainfall, geology, soil, a...
