Responses of Herbaceous Species to Fire in Persian Oak (Quercus brantii) in Coppice Forests
Zagros forests are one of the important natural ecosystems in Iran with high plant diversity and variety of plant communities. In recent decades, fire events have frequently occurred in some of these ecosystems. The purpose of this research is to investigate the composition and diversity of herbaceous species after nine years of fire occurrence in the forests of Zagros in western Iran. For this...
متن کاملPost-Fire Management of Cork Oak Forests
Cork oak ( Quercus suber L.) forests are def ned here as the range of habitats from open savanna-like woodland formations to dense forests. According to the European forest type’s nomenclature (EEA 2007 ) these ecosystems are included in the ‘broadleaved evergreen forest’ class and in the ‘Mediterranean e vergreen oak forest’ type.

متن کاملPrescribing Fire in Eastern Oak Forests: Is Time Running Out?
Before European settlement, vast areas of the eastern US deciduous forest were dominated by oak species. Evidence indicates that periodic understory fire was an important ecological factor in the historical development of oak forests. During European settlement of the late 19th and early 20th century, much of the eastern United States was impacted by land-clearing, extensive timber harvesting, ...
متن کاملA Model for Management of Mixed Coppice Stands in Semiarid Persian Oak Forests
This study aims to present a diameter class model to predict the effects of different forest management practices on growth and yield conditions of the mixed coppice stands of Persian oak (Quercus persica) in the semiarid forests in southern Zagros, Iran. Using inventory data the model was applied to make management recommendations for a forested watershed. Some requested data for the model wer...
متن کاملCarbon Stocks of Fine Woody Debris in Coppice Oak Forests at Different Development Stages
Dead woody debris is a significant component of the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems. This study was conducted in coppice-originated oak forests to determine carbon stocks of dead woody debris in addition to carbon stocks of different ecosystem compartments from the same area and forests which were formerly elucidated. Weight and carbon stocks of woody debris were determined with recent sampli...
