Abstract

In order to study the ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS of WILD CHERRY (Cerasus avium) in the forests of north of Iran, eight regions in these forests from Asalem in Gilan to Lowe in Gorgan, were identified and selected. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics were evaluated. The study of soil and climate conditions was performed too. The results indicated that WILD CHERRY was distributed from west to east and from lowlands to uplands of Alborz region, but the stands in midlands (altitude 900-1400 m) were denser. The species were distributed on the northern, northwestern, northeastern, western, eastern, southeastern, and southern slopes, but at northern, northwestern, northeastern, and eastern ones the density was higher. The slope gradient in these areas varied from 0 to 90 percent. Various vegetation types in study region consisted of Cerasus avium-Cerasus betulus, Cerasus avium -Acer velutinum, Cerasus avium-Acer cappodicicium, Fagus orientalis-Cerasus avium, Carpinus betulus-Cerasus avium, and Acer velutinum-Cerasus avium. Quantitative studies showed that from the point of frequency, density, basal area and volume per hectare, the Chenes forest exhibited the best condition. Qualitative studies showed that Siahbil was the best site and Lalice the worst. Totally, Chenes was Shown to be the best site and Lalice the worst. Climatological studies indicated that the distribution of WILD CHERRY was in the areas with an annual mean precipitation of between 867 and 1968 mm/year, and an annual mean temperature of 7.1 to 13.6°C. Soil studies showed that WILD CHERRY grows on brown forest, washed brown, dark brown pedolic, autotroph brown and hydromorph brown soil types with textures including loamy clay, silty loam, sandy clay and sandy loam. Soil pH varied from 5.2 to 7.1. Most of the soils were deep to moderately deep, suitable for rooting.
