Fire, as a natural ecological disturbance factor in forest, this study located in the Marivan region, Northern Zagros forest, and western Iranian state of Kurdistan. In each burned and unburned area 30 circle sample plot (1000 m2) were collected by randomized–systematic method in the 100×200 m net (in total 60 plots). In every sample plot the kind of species, number of tree, the heig...

Purpose: To assess the reliability of neurocognitive and functional performance tests in athletes with and without functional ankle instability (FAI). Methods: In this methodological study, 20 athletes with unilateral functional ankle instability (mean age [SD]: 23.40[2.58] y; mean height[SD]: 1.77[0.11] m; mean weight[SD]: 67.00[13.18] kg) and 20 uninjured athletes (mean age[SD]: 23.05[2.72] ...

In the current research, we present the results from a growth detection study in young forest and mature pine-dominated forest located on poor sites. Canopy height distributions were created from small-footprint airborne laser scanner data collected over 87 georeferenced field sample plots. The size of each plot was 300-400 m. The laser data were acquired in 1999 and 2001, and none of the plots...

this research aimed to evaluate the effect of planting seasons (autumn and spring) on 10 accessions of two species of astragalus effusus and astragalus brachyodontus in the field condition (homand absard station, damavand). after preparing the seedbed, the plant species were planted on two lines in 2 m, where the spacing between the lines of each accession was 0.5 m, and the spacing between the...

In this paper we establish three results on small-height zeros of quadratic polynomials over Q. For a single quadratic form in N ≥ 2 variables on a subspace of Q , we prove an upper bound on the height of a smallest nontrivial zero outside of an algebraic set under the assumption that such a zero exists. For a system of k quadratic forms on an L-dimensional subspace of Q , N ≥ L ≥ k(k+1) 2 + 1,...

We studied tree height in stands of high-Andean Polylepis forests in two cordilleras near Cuzco (Peru) with respect to variations in human impact and climatic conditions, and compared air and soil temperatures between qualitatively defined dry and humid slopes. We studied 46 forest plots of 100 m(2) of five Polylepis species at 3560-4680 m. We measured diameter at breast height (dbh) and tree h...
