Abstract

In the northern part of the Iranian plateau, the archaeology of Epipaleolithic and Neolithic period be in a fundamentally important position. Mountain ranges and intermountain plains are two main geographical elements playing a key role in the environmental dynamism of the northern Iran. Dense forests and alpine pastures are both present in the mountains. The north Iranian forests, also famous as the Hyrcanian or Caspian forests (in the Irano-Turanian region), are located in the southern margin of the Caspian Sea and in the northern piedmont of Alborz from Astara in the west to Gildaghi in the East. The climate of this region is humid largely influenced by the Caspian Sea and the distribution and abundance of forest trees in this region is due to climatic variations, elevation and the relative amounts of annual rainfall. Juniper and Caucasian oak are found in the mountainous region between 2000m and 2500m altitude. On the western and central parts of the coastal strip with an elevation between 500m and 700m, there are forests of Querceto-Buxetosum with trees such as chestnut-leaved oak and boxwood. At the lower elevations, there are native-type trees like Persian ironwood, Caucasian wingnut, Caucasian alder, Persian silk, Caspian locust and Persian maple. Today, there is an obvious contrast between the mountains and open plains of the northern Iran due to anthropogenic intervention. The mountain piedmonts are covered with trees such as oriental beech, Persian ironwood and chestnut-leaved oak but the plains are usually bare of trees that are caused by human exploitation as well as agricultural activities. Pollen evidence indicates also a decrease in Caspian forests as a result of human activities during the past.
