منطقۀ حفاظتشدۀ جنگلی هلن واقع در استان چهارمحال و بختیاری با وسعت 40131 هکتار را میتوان با توجه به شرایط طبیعی و انسانی حاکم بر آن، نمایندۀ جنگلهای زاگرس مرکزی دانست. در این مقاله برای پایش اکولوژیک درازمدت منطقه، چارچوبی مرکب از مدل مفهومی اکوسیستم و اجزای برنامۀ پایش، ارائه شده است. مدل مفهومی به روش تحلیلی طراحی و تدوین شد. اجزای برنامۀ پایش شامل اهداف، شاخصها، ایستگاهها، روشها، تناوب زمانی و مسئول و هزینههای پایش با توجه به ویژگیهای منطقه، مشخص شدند. اهداف مطابق مدل مفهومی شامل بررسی تغییرات مساحت، تراکم و سلامت تاج پوشش، تنوعزیستی و رشد و تولید جنگل تعیین شدند. 80 پلات در قالب شبکۀ تصادفی منظم بهمنزلۀ ایستگاههای پایش مشخص شدند که هر سال از یک چهارم آنها، آماربرداری انجام و بدین ترتیب طی چهار سال تمام سطح منطقه پایش و این روند تکرار شد. در اولین سال اجرای برنامه 17 پلات به صورت آزمایشی آماربرداری شد که با توجه به تکرارنشدن نمیتوان آن را پایش واقعی دانست، اما برای درک وضع موجود و پایلوت برنامۀ اصلی بسیار مفید است. نتایج پارامترهای اندازهگیریشده نشان میدهند میانگین تراکم تاج پوشش 25 درصد است. ابتلای 55 درصدی درختان بلوط به آفاتی مانند کنههای گیاهی، شته و زنجره نگرانکننده است. تنوع گونههای درختی و درختچهای کم (شاخص شانون وینر معادل 4/0)، اما تنوع گونههای علفی و بوتهای مطلوب (4/3) است. همچنین، 62/46 درصد فراوانی کلاسهای قطری 0/10- 4/35 درختان نشاندهندۀ تبدیلشدن جنگل به وضعیت شاخهزاد است. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
Introduction Forest ecosystems have continuously downgraded due to every environmental pressure including climate change, aerosols deposits, industrial pollutions and other degradation factors. The output soon or late would be a different forest. Forest monitoring is a well-regulated and usually long running procedure, which has the ability to detect these phenomena and reactions based on aims it perceives and principals it pursues. In international agreements, the ecological forest monitoring programs, which scheduled in twenty-first agenda of biodiversity convention, titled “continuous monitoring”. As a result, countries have to commence initial studies as a duty toward international obligations. Unquestionable ecological assignment of Zagros oak forests (preservation of biodiversity, soil and water) and their socio-economic and cultural features compels considering a sustainable management plan. To do that, present and futuristic information about the structure and function of these ecosystems is in need. As long as ecological monitoring of these forests implemented, the possibility of providing this information for sustainable forest management would be possible. Therefore, in this article based on an ecological monitoring program, we attempted to run a conceptual model to illustrate the expression, structure and function of the Central Zagros forests. The fulfillment of the model creates a framework for a long term planning and brings about the necessary information for ideal and sustainable management. Material and methods Materials: Helen Protected Forest with an area equivalent to 40131 ha is located in Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari province in Iran. The topography of the area is mountainous and altitudes rages from 1168 m in Paule Armand up to 3225 m of mountain peaks. The Climate is semi-humid with hot-dry summers and cold winters with average annual rainfall of 800-400 mm and mean annual temperature of 14° C. Range and forest lands covers 30 and 10 thousand hectares of Helen Protected Forest respectively. The dominant tree species in the region is oak, but other trees and shrubs like Astragalus, Daphne and hawthorn can be seen. Human populations inside and around the region, comprise of 12870 people which are divided into 31 villages. Method: The research has carried out on two stages, including the formulation of conceptual model and fulfilling the ecosystem-monitoring program. A combination of library searches as well as field excursions generated an acceptable understanding of the region and clarified the project goals. (* Corresponding author: Tel-Fax: 0381-4424423) Considering the prevailing conditions in the region, in the second stage, descriptive and comparative analysis formulated the appropriate model. In the design phase of the program, monitoring and component determination have carried out based on successful studies in other countries. Regardless of the type of the source, ecological monitoring program in general consist of target determination, monitoring indices and stations. In this study with respect to the issue of forest monitoring, several stations have been assigned and implemented, as it illustrated in Figure 1 and Table 1 to determine the matching and other components. Plots were omitted because no forest Plots sampled in first phase Network conjunction as plots location Figure1 – The locations of monitoring stations in the first stage of the forest survey Table 1 - The components of ecological monitoring of Helen Protected Forest based on different targets. Monitoring Frequency Monitoring methodology Monitoring indices Monitoring targets Every four years The appropriate remote sensing images (Landsat) and use of software FRAGSTAS Common metrics in landscape scale (number of patches, patch average size, patch penetration and scattering) Forest area change Annually The appropriate remote sensing images (Landsat) Plant indices, such as NDVI and MSAVI Changes in forest density Annually Direct tally in plot Tree number per area unit Annually Direct tally of infested trees in plot Infested tree number in plot Forest health Annually -List of tree and shrub species and their abundance in plot -List of herbaceous plant and their frequency in micro-plot -Tree species richness and abundance of herbaceous, shrub, and forest floor plants -Ground insect species richness and abundance -Forest birds species richness and abundance Forest biodiversity Every four years Caliper and tape -Diameter at breast height and crown diameter -Volume in hectare Forest growth and yield Results Base on the socio-economic and ecological conditions, which exist in the region, a conceptual model formulated for Helen Protected Forest. The dominant functional relationship between the various components and their monitoring programs expressed in accordance with the plot locations and the indicators. Due to lack of repetition, these may not be the actual monitoring results, but as a pilot for the original calibration program are quite useful to understand the status quo. Surface area, density and health of canopy measurements showed a density of seven trees per plot and 25% foliage cover. In addition, 10 out of 17 plots had signs of infestation, which were mainly because of oak leaf eating caterpillars. In average 55% of the oak trees were infected to ticks, aphids or cicadas. Biodiversity: The numerical value of the tree and shrub species diversity, in accordance with the index of Shannon-Wiener was equivalent to 0.4 and correspondent value for bushy and herbaceous species was 3.4. Forest growth and yield: The rate of growth and the production of trees and forests can establish by measuring changes in breast height diameter and the tree crown diameter until next monitoring period. This is done by using of special relationships. Based on the monitoring pilot phase, what is now can be said is that the 46.62 percentage of diameter 10-35.4 cm class implies that forest has been under pressure of clear cutting in the past. Discussion: Long term ecological monitoring in Zagros landscapes creates a promising opportunity for managers, decision makers and researchers in field of natural resources to collect and verify data for dynamic environmental policies. Since there are records of numerous failures in long term monitoring in landscape scales, the necessity of proper understanding especially in inter-components competence is inevitable to avoid unwanted costs. Although the results in this study come from a portion of the protected forest where was more reachable, but the model outcome showed that destructive factors like understory cultivation create a hostile conditions for forest dynamic growth. Overgrazing and charcoal exploitation are the problems everywhere in the region. Therefore, the study recommends the expansion of the ecological monitoring to all over the protected area. | ||
