The effect of land use changes on soil carbon sequestration and biomass plant in the central Zagros forests
Message:
Abstract:
Global warming and climate change is one of the important challenges of sustainable development which is caused by increase of greenhouse gases. Carbon sequestration in plant biomass and the soils under them, being considered as the easiest possible solution to reduce the atmospheric carbon and also in economical viewpoint is the most practical way. Zagros forest have the high potential to absorb the atmospheric carbon and modify climate change. The sampling of biomass, soil (0-30cm) and litter was done randomly-systematic. Carbon sequestration in plant biomass through allometric equation and soil organic carbon through Walkley-black method was measured. The results showed that land use change led to reduce carbon sequestration to 90.7 tons per hectare as compared with the forest zone around, which their economical values was calculated equivalent of 18140 dollars per hectare. The results of carbon distribution showed that content of more than >65% of total soil carbon sequestration is soil organic carbon. It was concluded that Zagros forest has a high potential for carbon sequestration and soil is the most important sink for organic carbon storage in these regions. Considering the results of this study, necessary activities would be done in different region of the country to increase the potential of carbon sequestration, to convert the ecosystem more sustainable, the basic changes to confronting of the climate change should be initiated.
