Abstract

In some rural areas in Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces in western part of Iran, vegetation covers, in and around commentaries, are left intact. A plant ecology survey was carried out in seventeen of such SACRED GROVES. Density, cover and dominance for each tree species was determined and the ecological values were calculated using Curtis method (1976). Results obtained from this study indicate that various aspects of vegetation structure such as species composition, growth form and canopy stratification are under strong influence of the long term conservation and other factors such as EDGE EFFECT and CHANCE EXTINCTION relating to grove size. These results, compared with similar information available on natural oak forests in the ZAGROS REGION in Kemanshah province, indicate that SACRED GROVES are more abundant, less diverse, have lost some of their life forms such as bushes and grass communities, have less complex cover strata and suffer from an unbalanced and aged age structure. These study shows that despite people efforts these natural – cultural heritage have no secure future and may be damaged by the same factors that destroyed oak forest in ZAGROS REGION. Soil erosion, trampling, overgrazing and limitations by grove size on plant reproduction are imposing sever barriers to community regeneration in some of the SACRED GROVES.
