The height of the overall vegetation in the stand ranged from 15 to 20 m, and the diameters of the trees in the stand at breast height varied between 14 and 28 cm. This study showed that the mean value of LAI increased by 4% in the 5-year period from 2007 to 2012. LAI was significantly (P ) in the physical and chemical properties of the soils between 2007 and 2012 (Table). The properties of the soil samples were almost the same for 2007 and 2012.
