Impact of land use change on soil erodibility
Vulnerability of soil separates to detachment by water is described as soil erodibility by Universal Soil Loss Equation which can be affected by land use change. In this study it was attempted to quantify the changes of Universal Soil Loss Equation K-factor and its soil driving factors in three land uses including rangeland, rainfed farming, and orchards in Babolrood watershed, northern Iran. S...
متن کاملEffect of land use on physical and chemical parameters of soil and sediment in Qarnave and Yelcheshme watersheds, Golestan Province, Iran
The objective of this investigation was assessment of physical and chemical parameters ofsoil and sediment in loess lands under different land uses, in the north of Iran. A yearly soilsampling was carried out randomly in three land uses (cultivated, forest and pasture) inQarnave and Yelcheshme watersheds. Sediment samples were taken monthly in thewatersheds at the hydrometrical station of Tamer...

متن کاملThe Effect of Land use and Soil Erosion on Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Stock
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a principal component in soil quality assessment. Knowledge of SOC and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are important keys to understand the role of SOC in the global carbon cycle and, as a result, in the mitigation of global greenhouse effects. SOC and TN stocks are functions of the SOC concentration and the bulk density of the soil that are prone to changes, influe...
متن کاملImpact of Land Use Changes on some Soil Micromorphological Features in Rakat Watershed, Eastern Khuzestan Province
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of land use change (forest and rangelands to agriculture) on some micromorphological indices of soil quality in part of Rakat watershed, southwest of Iran. Accordingly, intact soil samples from 0-15 and 15-30 cm depths were collected from the above-mentioned land uses, and microstructure, type and abundance of voids, redoximorphic featur...
