The regeneration of forest trees is affected by the presence, dispersion pattern and specifications of parent trees. These effects were investigated and modelled in hardwood forests in the north of Iran. To do so, at first, fifty plots, each with a total area of 0.1 ha, were identified. Four subplots with a radius of two meters were then stabilized in each plot. The height and the root collar diameter of all the cherry seedlings were measured. Likewise, the diameter, basal area, and distance fro
