Discussion
In zagros forests, non irrigated farming in understory is common. This manner result in decline in canopy cover and reduce the species of forest. The most effective factors in site selection of these areas are slope, aspect and elevation. Most of these areas are limited in gentle slope but some of them occur in step slope. In low elevation, north aspect due to better soil and water condition these farming lands are more. Decline of canopy cover make these areas the main center of erosion. Distribution of areas in gentle slope is due to attention of people to water and soil conservation, but for better conservation expansion of areas must be limited.
