چکیده

the aim of this study was to determine the optimal cutting cycle in an uneven-aged beech forest in the north of iran. first of all, a logistic growth model was determined for an uneven aged forest. then, the stumpage price was predicted via an autoregressive model. the average stumpage price of beech was derived from actual timber, round wood, fire and pulpwood prices at road side minus the variable harvesting costs. price and growth models were used in order to determine the optimal cutting cycle under different rates of interest and setup costs. the faustmann?s model was used for optimal cutting cycle. the results indicated that the optimal cutting cycle will decrease if the rate of interest increased. the results also indicated that if the setup costs increase, the optimal cutting cycle will also increase.

Effects of Logging Wounds on Caucasian Alder Trees (Alnus subcordata C.A. Mey.) in Iranian Caspian Forests

Caucasian alder is a large tree and one of the commercial species in the Caspian forests. We investigated the wound healing rate (WHR) and compared the diameter growth (DG) of 66 wounded and 66 unwounded alder trees 15 years after selected logging in these forests. The conditions of the wounds after 15 years were as follows: 56.1% had closed, 25.7% were open, and 18.2% had decayed. The mean WHR...
