Identifying forest types associate with physiological factors in middle Zagros forests in Iran
Journal Title: International journal of Advanced Biological and Biomedical Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
Physiological factors have effects on most forest parameters such as forest classification so that understanding knowledge about this subject is important to manage forests. The forests of Sorkhakesanjabi village with area of 1645 ha located in Eslam Abad city, Kermanshah province, Iran were selected. 23 sample plots with rectangular shape (40m*50m) were selected and the species, origin of species and canopy percent were recorded. Broun Blankeh method based on percent of canopy area of dominant species was selected. Results showed that two main forest types identified were QuercusDaphne and Quercus-Prunus-Cratagus. Quercus-Daphne is coppice and ranging from 1820-2322 and Quercus-Prunus-Cratagus ranging from 1890-2130 that Cratagus aronica and Purunus tortuosa are high forest and Q. persica is coppice.
