Soil Microbial Biomass Carbon and Nitrogen in Himalayan Rangeland of Eastern Nepal: A Comparison between Grazed and Non-grazed Rangelands
Soil microbial biomass plays an important role in nutrient transformation in terrestrial ecosystems. Microbial biomass is also an early indicator of changes in total soil organic carbon. Thus, the main objective of this study was to identify and quantify the present status of soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen with various management practices in Himalayan rangeland. To meet the aforeme...
متن کاملThe carbon and nitrogen storage capacity of soil in two enclosure and grazed sites (Case study: Kote rangelands of Khash City)
Background and objectives: One of the most important components of rangeland ecosystems is soil that their degradation will reduce rangeland production capacity. About half of the world's lands are rangelands and they contain more than one-third of the biosphere carbon pool. Therefore, these lands have a high potential for carbon sequestration. This study was conducted to investigate the soil c...
متن کاملپتانسیل معدنی شدن نیتروژن خاک در اکوسیستم مرتعی تحت چرای آزاد و قرق دراز مدت در اقلیم‌های مختلف
Mountainous landscapes in Central Zagros are mainly used as grazing rangelands to feed animals and are heavily degraded. Overgrazing may impose a negative effect on rangeland productivity and sustainability through significant changes in soil properties. Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization is one of the key biological processes that might be affected by biotic and abiotic factors including range g...
متن کاملInvestigating the correlation between vegetation cover, soil elements and plant and soil organic carbon storage in mountain pastures under flooding and grazing (case study: Asadabad Pass, Hamadan)
The extent of rangeland is one of the most important characteristics of organic carbon uptake and storage in soil and plants. The present study investigates the indices of plant diversity and organic carbon storage in mountain pastures under grazing and 10-year enclosure in Asadabad. The rangeland is approximately 100 hectares and its rangelands are in good condition and are in the 2S class in ...
متن کاملHow Fencing Affects the Soil Quality and Plant Biomass in the Grassland of the Loess Plateau
Overgrazing is a severe problem in several regions in Northwestern China and has caused serious land degradation. Secondary natural succession plays an important role in the accumulation of soil carbon and nitrogen contents. Estimating the effects of grazing exclusion on soil quality and plant diversity will improve our understanding of the succession process after overgrazing and promote judic...
