Abstract

This experiment was carried out in Fars province, in order to identify the adaptability of different needleleaved and broadleaved species in Doorodzan area of the Fars proviens of Iran. The experiment was laid out as a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments (10 tree species), each containing 49 seedlings in 4 replication. The trees were planted in the plots and trained for 6 years. The survival percentage of the tree species was the basis of the evaluation of treatments. Pinus brutia, Cupressus. S. var. horizontalis, Cupressus arizonica, and Pinus eldarica were the most promising trees. The broadleaved species, namley Eleagnus angustifolia, Robinia pseudoacacia, Quercus brantii, Ailanthus glandulosa and Fraxinus rotundifolia showed more than 50% survival.
