Evaluation habitant condaition of Amygdalus scoparia in Bolhasan Dezful using multiple criteria decision making method

Bolhasan forest region with 5725 ha located is on east north of Dezful County. The region belongs to natural forests of Dezful. Considering valuable species of Amygdalus scopartia is mainly covered the area sustainable exploitation and development and restoration is essential. Therefore, knowledge of the habitat requirements of this species and the quantitative and qualitative characterization it can be helpful for proper use of these species. In order to implement this research then circulation in forest and preliminary study determined was Bolhasan habitat region on the 1:25000 map. Then, overlaing maps of slope, elevation and aspect mapping was units and 36 units of the land. Quantity and quality of labor per unit measured were including height, canopy, average diameter and number of Amygdalus scoparia. Evaluation situation habitat for studied species performed was by weighing the criteria using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in Expert Choice Software. In current research evaluated were criteria using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Geographic Information System (GIS) and final extracted was ecological capability land in map. In this study, identified were the best range for growth of Amygdalus scoparia species, northern, elevation 800-1100 and slope of 0-15 percent. The results of this study showed that is approximately 1988 hectares equivalent to 72/34% of Bolhasan forest is excellent, 1577 ha equivalent to 55/27% is good and 2160 ha equivalent to 73/37% is poor.
