The poplar plantation along the Zanjan-Rood river blanks are in valuable. This project was prepared and executed to get information about the structure, variety and growth rate of thepoplar plantations. At first, after explorationof the area, the map of the poplar cultivation in the area was prepared. There are 98 discrete poplar plantation between the village of Kooshkan and Nickpay. Then,on the basis of a statistical plan, 56 plote 300M2 in area were picked throught the area by the “PPS” method. Various data were collected form these.
