Characteristics in Oriental Beech seedlings in pure beech Forests (Case Study: Iran- Mazandaran-Liresar Forestry Plan, Fifth District)

Abstract: Oriental beech Species is important species of forest. This study was performed in order to knowledge of the importance of light on the regeneration on it. This study was done in Liresar forest. this study showed the beech seedlings be differed in of different intensity of lights. Study in regeneration ditches was determined, quantity of seedlings depending on size of ditch ranged of 0.5 to 16.5 number in square meter. The maximum quantity of seedlings was of ditch with 200-500 m and the minimum of it was the ditch with greater than 10002 m and so the number of beech seedlings in the area unit were low from the center ditch towards margin of it2. result showed was correlation between the quantity of seedlings with large ditches, this means ditch area increased, the quantity of seedlings was reduced and with increasing altitude, the number of beech seedlings were reduced, so between altitude and number of beech seedlings was a negative correlation. In this investigation was diagnosed with increasing relative light intensity and so with increasing regeneration in ditch area, beech seedlings height was increased.

Forests longitudinal growth of beech seedlings in veisar more produce wood that has economic value, has been located than Asalem that its reason was calcareous soil in veisar. in the north of the Iran country named Hyrcanian region.
