چکیده
|
Successful regeneration of oak species is essential for the maintenance of biological diversity in the Northern Zagros forests. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of traditional forest management on forest regeneration in Northern Zagros Forests. In this research, three less-disturbed and three traditionally-used stands were selected in different regions of Baneh city. Selected stands in any region had similar physiographic conditions. Thirty rectangular plots (20×30 m) were established in the selected stands by random sampling. In each plot, regeneration (seedling and coppice regeneration in two categories of higher and less than 2 meters height classes) for dominant tree species, i.e. Quercus brantii Lindl., Quercus infectoria Oliv., Quercus Libani Oliv. was measured. Regeneration in studied stands was compared by chi-square test. The results show that the seedling and coppice regeneration (less & higher than 2m) differ markedly between less- disturbed and traditionally-used stands )P< 0.01).
