A study of some structural attributes of Yew (Taxus baccata L.) in Gazoo forest, Mazandaran Province
In this study, 50 hectare of mixed yew stand was structurally investigated across Gazoo forest, a study area between 1100-1300 m a.s.l located 50 km from Zirab town in Mazandaran province. All yew individuals above 7.5 cm D.B.H were full calipered by measuring their height and DBH. A transect of 20...
