| Abstract: | Bolhasan Forest region with an area of 5,725?ha is located on east north of Dezful County, Iran. The region belongs to natural forests of Dezful. Considering the area is mainly covered by valuable species of Amygdalus Scopartia, its sustainable exploitation and development as well as restoration enjoys great importance. Study ahead aims at selection of suitable habitats for under studied species using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Therewith, the required thematic maps were imported in to GIS Software and final suitability map was prepared. The results indicated that around 2,119?ha (37%) out of all study area has high suitability for habitat of Amygdalus Scopartia. In the meanwhile, 1,603?ha equal to 28%] is categorized as good suitability class and 2,003?ha 35%] has poor suitability. |
