The comparison of qualitative assessment of potential of soil surface attributes in two regions of Ghareghir and Maravetappe in Golestan province

Getting aware of soil attributes of one kind of vegetation is very important. Assessment of important attributes of soil and vegetation can help us aware of rangeland potential and help us to determine the situation of it. In this research we start to assessment of soil surface according to the two-way effects of vegetation and soil surface attributes by the way of soil surface classification of rangeland (SSCC (. The result of this research is the qualities comparison of soil and vegetation landscape in east and west aspects of loss topographic of Ghareghir and Maravetappe. In this research the length and width of ecological patches by the forms of lichen, lichen– Grass, forb, shrub and bare soil with litter measured. Also we measured the 11 soil surface parameters on three, 50 meters transects in east and west aspects of the two mentioned regions. These 11 parameters are belonging to 3 major attributes of soil: Stability, infiltration and nutrients. Stability, infiltration and nutrients indices of Shrub, forbs and lichen– Grass showed significant differences in both aspects of Ghareghir and Maravetappe (p<0.05). In Maravetappe especially in west aspect these indices were more but in Ghareghir the most important east landscapes were forbs and lichen – Grass and in west landscapes shrub and lichen – Grass had more importance.
