Abstract

The SALT–AFFECTED LANDs in arid regions of central Iran are characterized by low rainfall, low fertility, high evaporation and salinity. The cultivation of SALT–AFFECTED LANDs may have a major influence on SOIL QUALITY. The aim of this study was to determine the response of SOIL QUALITY indicators to reclamation and cultivation of SALT–AFFECTED LANDs occurring in Abarkooh plain, central Iran. SOIL QUALITY indicators were evaluated in three land use systems including salt-affected land, wheat, and alfalfa fields. Composite soil samples were collected at 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40 cm layers and analyzed for soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbohydrate, PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON in macro-aggregates (POCmac) and micro-aggregates (POCmic), organic carbon mineralization and wet aggregate stability. The cultivation of SALT–AFFECTED LAND caused a significant decrease in electrical conductivity at all layers and increased the amount of soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbohydrate, POCmac, POCmic, and organic carbon mineralization. At all layers, the POCmac/POCmic ratio in the alfalfa fields was higher than that in the wheat fields. The cultivation of salt-affected land caused a significant increase in soil aggregate stability (MWD) at all layers. In most cases, the amounts of SOIL ORGANIC MATTER and MWD were greater in alfalfa than in the wheat fields, reflecting a better SOIL QUALITY and thus higher potential for increasing soil organic carbon sequestration in the alfalfa fields.
