A Comparison of Forest Stand Quantitative Factors in Protected and Nonprotected Areas in Arasbaran Forests

In this research, a part of forest stand in two protected and nonprotected areas have been compared for quantitative factors. Initially the similarity of these stands using aerial photographs in 1: 20000 scale of 1968 was studied and the similar stands were chosen. Then 92 line samples with a network size of 150 * 300 in in nonprotected parts of stand are sampled out and compared with other 92 line samples recorded from protected areas. From quantitative factors, basal area of stand and number of trees perhectare were determined. The number of trees and basal area in protected area was significantly higher than that in nonprotected forest stands.
