The only exception is the Eurasian Sect. Cerris that comprises 15 species, a dozen of which are confined to western Eurasia. This section has not been comprehensively studied using molecular tools. Here, we assess species diversity and reconstruct a first comprehensive taxonomic scheme of western Eurasian members of Sect. Cerris using plastid (trnH-psbA) and nuclear (5S-IGS) DNA variation with a dense intra-specific and geographic sampling.

Some areas in particular feature a concentration of large and numerous trees of Taxus baccata, a species that has attracted the interest of many researchers given its medicinal importance. The objective of this study was to analyze the biological and structural features of these unique ecosystems based on three large tree-mapped field plots using new methods. We developed a species abundance distribution and three species–area relations, and analyzed the small-scale structural patterns of each of the 15 tree species that occur in the plots. Species-specific details are presented for each of the three field plots, including the tree densities and average tree sizes, as well as the associated structural indices “species mingling”, “dominance”, and “size differentiation”.

  • Biomass Allocation of Chestnut Oak (Quercus Castaneifolia C.A. Mey) Seedlings: Effects of Provenance and Light Gradient
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 60, 2014 (11): 443–450 Biomass allocation of chestnut oak (Quercus castaneifolia C.A. Mey) seedlings: effects of provenance and light gradient F. Babaei Sustani1, S.G. Jalali1, H. Sohrabi1, A. Shirvani2 1Department of Forestry, Tarbiat Modares University, Nour, Mazandaran, Iran 2Department of Forestry, Tehran University, Karaj, Iran ABSTRACT: Patterns of biomass allocation were determined for seedlings of five provenances of Quercus casta- neifolia from west to east of the Hyrcanian forest along a rainfall gradient. Experimental design was executed under controlled conditions at seven different light levels (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 100% full light). We quantified the biomass allocation patterns to leaves, stems and roots. For all provenances total mass increased with irradiance at low light levels, reaching an optimum at an intermediate level but decreasing at a high irradiance level. As results show, in drier provenances and at high light levels, the seedlings invest more biomass into root mass to facilitate water uptake and to alter their leaf size to prevent overheating. In contrast, at wetter provenances and low light levels, towards increased light interception, more biomass is allocated proportionally to leaves and the stems but, accordingly, less to roots. The leaf to root ratio (L/R) was negatively correlated with light, with high correlation at wetter provenances compared to drier ones. In contrast, the relationship between the root to shoot (R/Sh) ratio and light was positively correlated with light, but it was weak at drier provenances and became gradually stronger at wetter ones. Such rela- tionships indicated that chestnut oak seedling growth strategies are different along a rainfall gradient to irradiance levels.

  • OUTBREAK of CHARCOAL DISEASE on Quercus SPP and Zelkova Carpinifolia TREES in FORESTS of ZAGROS and ALBORZ MOUNTAINS in IRAN
    Iran. J. Plant Path., Vol. 49, No. 2, 2013: 77-79 OUTBREAK OF CHARCOAL DISEASE ON Quercus SPP AND Zelkova carpinifolia TREES IN FORESTS OF ZAGROS AND ALBORZ MOUNTAINS IN IRAN 1 M. MIRABOLFATHY * (Received : 4.7. 2012; Accepted : 22.1.2013) Abstract During the last four years (2009- 2012) several reports of forest tree decline were received, complaining about serious damage and death of many trees. The disease has been spread throughout forests of Zagross mountains which extend from north west to south west of Iran covering approximately 4,000,000 ha. Also the disease has been spread throughout forests of Alborz mountains in the north of Iran. The infected tree species included Q. brantii, Q. castaneifolia and Zelkova carpinifolia. Q. brantii Lindl. (Persian oak) has dominated in all parts of Zagros mountains from north to south, especially on the southern side of mountain in Ilam, Lorestan, Kohgilouyeh va Boyer-Ahmad, Fars and Kermanshah provinces. Zelkova carpinifolia (Pall. ) Dippel, and Quercus castaneifolia C.A.Mey are native to the Caucasus and Alborz mountains in northern parts of Iran. The decline began with browning of the leaves, viscous liquid exudatation on the branches and trunks resulting in a brown-black discoloration of bark and woody tissues. In the winter of the next year fungal growth induces a typical charcoal-black surface on diseased branches and trunks. The perithecia of B. mediterranea were observed in a black carbonaceous layer on the stem surface erupting from the declined trees and the ascospores were visible under light microscope . Perithecia were obovoid, containing, amyloid asci, with dark brown ellipsoid ascospores, with straight germ slits along the spore-length.
