Abstract

Soil, plant and indicators are the main criteria to recognize the function of natural ecosystems, and to evaluate their potentials. The objective of this research was to determine some of the SOIL AND PLANT INDICATORS at the saline and alkaline terrain of Gomishan rangelands in Golestan province. By using the LANDSCAPE FUNCTION Analysis method, the potential of inside and outside of enclosing of Gomishan was evaluated, within the terrain areas of Agh-Ghala. Width, height, and density of the patches and inter-patch and the 11 soil parameters were measured on the 3 transects of 50 meters length. The density and volume of grasses and shrubs under the two different management were measured by using point-center-quarter method. The index of landscape stability was higher within enclosure than outside area for patches of litter, and the index of nutrient cycling. Soil infiltration was higher inside than the outside for patches of shrubgrass and litter. Soil infiltration, stability and nutrient cycling indices were significant at bear soil of the two areas. Most ecological indicators of inside and outside areas of enclosing were of the shrubgrass, grass and shrub forms respectively.
