The different species form the genus Eucalyptusspp. are amongst the most important fast growing tree types of Oceania which have been planted in Iran for more than 50 years. In particular, the Eucalyptus trees were vastly planted in the southern parts of the country, from which the old-growth trees are still found in Lorestan (e.g. Malavi region) and Fars provinces. The applications to produce wood pulp, paper and leaf oils are amongst the motivations for future industrial and medicinal uses. In this study, the adaptation and performance of different industrial Eucalyptus ecotypes in Lorestan province were tested. A range of species including E. globulus (spp. bicostata), E. globulus (spp. maidenii), E. nitens, E. viminalis (spp. cygnetensis), E. camadulensis (var. obtus)and E. suggrandis (spp. suggrandis)were planted with 3 m distance within a complete randomized block design in a 2-ha field and were monitored for a 7-year period. The comparison of means by Duncan test showed the E. camadulensis (spp. obtus) and E. globulus (spp. maidenii)to be superior regarding the majority of their investigated properties in 99% confidence level.

Undoubtedly, Khorram-Abad Country has been considered as one of the most beautiful, scenic and pleasant weather areas of Iran because of many natural, cultural, historical, etc attractions. Despite the great potential for ecotourism development in this country, it has not been implemented a good plan for ecotourism development in this area. This study intends to identify the effective criteria and sub-criteria in ecotourism evaluation with respect to the area conditions and suggest the suitable areas for ecotourism development. For this regard Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) have been used. At the first step, effective criteria and sub-criteria in the evaluation process determined and the weight of each criterion and sub-criterion determined using the Delphi technique and expert's knowledge. Then, the required maps were prepared. After that, with the integration of maps and their corresponding weights the capability map for ecotourism was prepared. The results showed that 7.80, 60.75, 46.37 and 5.50 percent of the study area has excellent, good, moderate and poor potential respectively and 2.35 percent of the area is not suitable for ecotourism at all.
