Successional Trajectories and Niche Partitioning of Vegetation in Abandoned Agricultural Lands of a Semi‐Arid Forest
Land abandonment in semi‐arid regions represents a critical environmental challenge, significantly impacting ecosystem structure and function. This study investigated vegetation dynamics along a successional gradient in the Zagros forests of western Iran, following the abandonment of agricultural lands. Here, we sampled 96 plots across four successional stages: recently abandoned fields (3–4 years after abandonment, RAA), short‐term abandonment (…
Soil Rehabilitation in Degraded Oak Forest Stands Through Afforestation With Amygdalus scoparia
Afforestation plays a crucial role in rehabilitating degraded ecosystems and improving soil and environmental conditions in arid and semi‐arid regions. Although many studies have shown that afforestation improves soil properties, the combined effects of slope, aspect, and microtopography on soil biochemical responses remain poorly understood. Furthermore, environmental characteristics, particularly aspect and slope percentage in mountainous fores…
Beneficial effects of livestock exclusion on tree regeneration, understory plant diversity, and soil properties in semiarid forests in Iran
Zagros forests in western Iran have been impacted by severe fuelwood removal, traditional agricultural systems, non‐timber products removal, and livestock grazing. These conditions have led to the forest area diminishing from 10 to 6 million hectares over the last six decades. This study was conducted to understand the consequences of livestock exclusion on understory plant diversity, forest tree regeneration, and soil physicochemical properties …
Components of plant diversity as ecological indicators reflecting the effects of conservation management and degradation in different climatic conditions
Additive partitioning of species diversity is a valuable approach for quantifying the spatial patterns of biodiversity sampled in hierarchically scaled studies. This approach may provide key insights into vegetation community restoration following terrestrial ecosystems degradation in different climatic conditions. The scale‐dependence of plant diversity in relation to different plant functional groups (e.g., herbaceous and woody) is still little…
Spatio‐temporal changes in the understory heterogeneity, diversity, and composition after fires of different severities in a semiarid oak ( Quercus brantii Lindl.) forest
In arid and semiarid forests and rangelands, native ranchers and farmers frequently use fire as a tool to improve soil fertility and vegetation composition, and to facilitate soil tilling. Investigating changes in ecosystem characteristics after these measures is of great importance for establishing management and recovery strategies. This study aimed to investigate spatial–temporal changes in the understory heterogeneity, diversity and compositi…
