The Role of Land Use Change on Some Soil Physicochemical Properties (Case Study:Watershed Basin of Keyasar Galooga)
Abstract:
The change of forest to agricultural lands has serious effects on the amount of soil organic matter and physico- chemical characteristics. Noting the increasing change of forestry land use in Mazandaran province, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of land use change on soil characteristics in the Nekaroad watershed. For this purpose, soil samples were collected from the two depths (0-10 and 10-20 cm) and three different land uses (forest, pasture and agriculture). Then the sample were compared based on a randomized complete block design. The results showed that the bulk density, Calcium carbonate, pH and sand percent of the soil were increased while the soil porosity, cation exchange capacity, silt and clay percent were decreased with the change of forest land use to pasture and agriculture. The amounts of organic matter in the soil layer with the depth of 0-10 cm at the agricultural and pasture lands compared to forest land were decreased about 35.70 and 21.85 %, respectively. Similarly, the reduction of organic matter in the soil layer with the depth of 10-20 cm in the same lands were 36.22 and 22.64%, respectively. The maximum total nitrogen was 0.37 %, which was observed in the soil depth of 0-10 cm at forest land while the minimum of it was 0.16 % in the soil depth of 10-20 cm at agricultural land which showed a reduction of 56.75%.
