Abstract
In this research, the spatial patterns of shrubs were determined by using T-square distance method in protected and unprotected areas of Golestan National Park. The results indicated that the patterns of shrubs were clumped – regular and clumped – random in woodlands. There were numerous species of shrubs in protected area and the canopy cover of grasses and forbs were much higher under the shrubs than that of unprotected area. So the richness and diversity of the species were higher than the unprotected area. The dominant species of unprotected area was Ephedra distachya and the grasses and forbs had less contribution in vegetation of the area. Bare soil and rocks were appeared more frequently.
