Effect of gap size and position within gaps on growth characters and survival of chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia C. A. Mey.), Cappadocian maple (Acer cappadocicum Gled.) and Caucasian alder (Alnus subcordata C. A. Mey.)

Effect of gap size and position within gaps on growth characters and survival of chestnut-leaved oak (Quercus castaneifolia C. A. Mey.), Cappadocian maple (Acer cappadocicum Gled.) and Caucasian alder (Alnus subcordata C. A. Mey.)

In this study,six canopy gaps with medium (200-500 m2) and large (> 500m2) sizes were selected in Shastkolate forest. In each gap, micro sample plots (6×6 m) were established at the center and north, east, south and west directions of each gap. Within each micro plot, 12 seedlings of chestnut-lea...
