Species Diversity of Trees and Forest Floor Plants in Oriental beech Forest Types of Shastkalate Educational and Research Forest, Gorgan)

Trees are the most important biological elements of forest ecosystems. The variability of the tree species composition inhabiting in the Oriental beech forest, not only forms different forest types but also has a remarkable impact on the species diversity of forest floor plants, due to the existence of trees in the overstory layer. In this research, forest types of an an Oriental beech were ide...

Decision Jungles: Compact and Rich Models for Classification

Randomized decision trees and forests have a rich history in machine learning and have seen considerable success in application, perhaps particularly so for computer vision. However, they face a fundamental limitation: given enough data, the number of nodes in decision trees will grow exponentially with depth. For certain applications, for example on mobile or embedded processors, memory is a l...

تعیین روش نمونه برداری مناسب جهت برآورد تراکم و سطح تاج‌پوشش درختان زوال یافته بلوط ایرانی (.Quercus brantii Lindl) در منطقه حفاظت شده دینارکوه ایلام

Oak decline as one of the most important environmental problems of Zagros forests, requires proper management to decrease trees dieback and mitigate its effects. This study aimed to find the best sampling method for estimating density and crown canopy of declined oak trees in Zagros Forests. All declined trees in an area of 100 ha of Dinarkooh protected forest were surveyed and trees density, g...

Rotenone . A Brief Review of its Chemistry , Environmental Fate , and the Toxicity of Rotenone Formulations

Background on the Chemistry of Rotenone. Rotenone is a natural product isolated from certain subtropical and tropical members of the pea family found in South America and Southeast Asia. The use of rotenone by man may be ancient, as early explorers noted Peruvian natives using crude extracts of the Cubé plant to stun fish for eating. In the early 1900’s, botanists exploring Peruvian jungles sea...
