ABSTRACT
This study was carried out in the northern forests of Iran (i.e. Hyrcanian Forests) near the Caspian Sea at compartment 14 in the Neka Chob Company. These forests are completely mixed natural broadleaf forests. All of remain trees in that compartment were measured (100%) as damaged and undamaged trees based on depth, size and location of wounds on trunks. This research has shown that approximately 7 trees per hectares were damaged during the harvesting operations. More than 90% of wounds were located at h<1 m from the ground level. About 8% of wounds are cambium damage and in totally about 75% of them are big in size.
