چکیده

برای رسیدن به اهداف مدیریت پایدار جنگل، شیوه تک‌گزینی در جنگل‌های هیرکانی از دهه 1370 به­اجرا درآمد، ولی مشخص نیست که اجرای این شیوه چه تأثیری بر مشخصه‌های زادآوری درختان توده‌های جنگلی داشته است. برای این منظور در این پژوهش وضعیت زادآوری درختان در روشنه‌های دو راشستان مدیریت‌شده و مدیریت‌نشده با هم مقایسه شدند. روشنه‌هایی با سطح بیشتر از 100 مترمربع که‌ بقایای درختان روشنه‌ساز در آن­ها قابل مشاهده‌ باشد، مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. در هر روشنه پنج قطعه‌نمونه‌ چهار مترمربعی (یکی در مرکز و مابقی در چهار جهت اصلی روشنه) مشخص شد. تمامی نهال‌ها و نونهال‌های داخل قطعه‌های نمونه شمارش و مشخصه‌های کمی و کیفی نهال‌های راش مورد بررسی و اندازه‌گیری قرار گرفت. غنای گونه‌های درختی، فراوانی تمامی گونه‌ها محاسبه شد. به­جز تراکم و غنای گونه‌های درختی، میانگین دیگر مشخصه‌های کمی نهال‌ها  (قطر یقه، طول نهال، عرض تاج، طول نوشاخه بهاره و طول بالاترین میان‌گره) به‌طور‌ چشمگیری (05/0P <) در قطعه مدیریت‌نشده بیشتر از مدیریت‌شده بود. درحالی ‌که بیشترین فراوانی نهال‌های سالم و میان‌رو (دارای تنه واحد) در قطعه مدیریت‌شده مشاهده شد
(05/0P <). غنای گونه‌ای در هر دو منطقه مقدار پایینی را نشان داد. با توجه به اینکه یکی از اهداف مدیریت پایدار جنگل، افزایش تنوع درختان و سازگاری با اکوسیستم است، لازم است به ارتقا تنوع و غنای گونه‌های درختی در برنامه‌های مدیریتی آتی مناطق مورد بررسی توجه شود.

چکیده [English]

In order to achieve the goals of sustainable forest management, single tree selection method was implemented in Hyrcanian forests. But it is not clear what effect the implementation of this method has on the reproductive characteristics of trees in forest stands. For this purpose, we compared the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of beech seedlings and saplings in the gaps of two managed and unmanaged compartments. Expanded gaps with an area > 100 m2 were identified in the two compartments. Except of density and richness of tree species, the average of other quantitative characteristics of saplings was significantly (ρ<0.05) in the unmanaged than the managed compartment. While the highest frequency of healthy and unforked seedlings was observed in the managed compartment (ρ<0.05). Species richness in both compartments showed a low value. Considering that one of the goals of sustainable forest management is to increase the diversity of trees and adapt to the ecosystem, it is necessary to pay attention to the promotion of the diversity and richness of tree species in the future management plans in the studied areas.
