Abstract Pterocarya fraxinifolia , native to the southern Caucasus and adjacent areas, has been widely introduced in Europe. In this study, we investigate following: (1) How did its current distribution form? (2) What are past, current, future suitable habitats of P. ? (3) is best conservation approach? Ecological niche modeling was applied determine climatic demands project climatically areas ...

Nitrogen (N) addition (10 and 15 g N m −2 year −1 as dissolved $${\mathbf{N}\mathbf{H}}_{4}{\mathbf{N}\mathbf{O}}_{3}$$ ) significantly increased the CO 2 efflux from forest soil fine root biomass in a maple (Acer velutinum Bioss.) plantation. Following seasonal pattern, showed an exponential relationship with temperature. The effect of atmospheric deposition on CO2 is still unclear Hyrcanian f...

Species in the genus Castanea Mill. are one of the worthwhile species in the Hyrcanian forest of west Guilan (N Iran) with low region such as Siahmazgi, Ghalerodkhan and Visrod. that do not have good condition by reason of human interfering and disease. They have varying economic importance as nut tree crops, therefore, DNA barcoding technique can be a straightforward method for taxonomic statu...

Reforestation with native and non-native tree species is one of the most effective strategies to cope climate change, also management method for solving soil erosion problems in degraded forests around world. The current research investigates three skid trails, which were planted clearcutting areas, comparison a natural forest hornbeam (CB; Carpinus betulus L.) velvet maple (AV; Acer velutinum ...
