Thanks to extent of study area and dispersion of Wych elm on this area, the plot less sampling method was applied. After field inspection and identifying the remaining individuals of Wych elm trees (Ulmus glabra), d.b.h ?10cm, Physiographic Factors (altitude a.s.l, aspect, slope were recorded. The results that Wych elm trees were distributed from 330 m to 1315 m above sea level. On north-facing and east-facing slopes, the numbers of elm trees were the most and least, respectively. In relation to slope or steepness, this tree dispersed on plain or flat terrain to steep slopes but the number of tree in gentle slope was more than higher slope.
