Knowing the ecological characteristics of plant species and their response to environmental factors provides the necessary information for managing vegetation and improving of rangelands. Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss. is one of the species that is important in terms of medicinal and forage values. Therefore, the ecological needs of this species were investigated with emphasis on determining the ecological factors affecting vegetation changes and the response of this species to changes in ecological factors using CCA (conventional comparative analysis) and GAM (generalized collective model) methods. In this research, the data of chemical and physical properties of soil and vegetation were investigated in the areas of Rineh Larijan, Lawash in the highlands of Noor city and Tengegalou in the highlands of Kelardasht in Mazandaran province in the years 2019 to 2021.The results of conventional comparative analysis showed that environmental factors such as altitude, aspect, phosphorous, organic carbon, organic material, pH, Ec, %sand, saturated moisture percentage and lime of soil, respectively with the expression of 5.9, 5.6, 2, 2, 1.8, 1.7, 1.7, 1.6 and 1.3 percent of the variance in plant composition had an important role in the changes of plant cover in the studied habitats. The response of the species to the amount of phosphorus and potassium follows the monotonic decrease model. The response of species to the percentage of silt, sand, organic material, organic carbon, nitrogen,line and aspect follows the bell model (Unimodal) and the optimal growth limit For each of these factors, it is 20%, 55%, 5%, 35,0.45 and north and westnorth slopes. The study of the response of the species to environmental and soil factors provided valuable information to determine the ecological needs of this species, which can be taken into consideration in the operation of rangelands improvement in similar areas.
