Abstract

Introduction: Increasing the rate of biodiversity loss due to several reasons have raised concerns about the remaining elements of biodiversity. On one hand it is impossible to allocate vast areas to conservation in competition with other land uses and on other hand it is not clear which parts of the land is of more biodiversity values and deserves conservation. In this situation the using better substitutes such as vegetation cover is inevitable. VEGETATION TYPES have been considered as suitable substitutes in many studies. Materials and Methods: The study area is Kohgiluye & Boir-Ahmad province located in southwest of Iran, neighboring from north and east to Chaharmahal & Bakhtiary and Isfahan provinces, from south to Fars and Booshehr and from west to Khuzestan (Figure 1). The study area with 1609979 ha area (around 1% of Iran) has a mountainous landscape. More than 80% of the area is covered with mountains and hills. The lowest part is of an altitude of 170 m above sea level and the point with maximum elevation is Dena peak with 4409 m above sea level. This indicates a sharp elevation gradient. Other physical and biological characteristic of the study area such as climate (temperature and humidity), soil, biodiversity (floral and faunal) are functions of this gradient. At present about 12% of the study area is under protection which consists of 6 protected areas named Dena, Dena-ye Sharghi, Tang-e Soolak, Kooh-e Dill, Kooh-e Khamin and Kooh-e Khiz & Sorkh.
