Abstract

Land degradation especially in rangeland ecosystems is a serious danger for ecological health and also can reduce the quality and quantity of soils in this ecosystem and vegetation cover for livestock. Generally land DEGRADATION INDICATORS are determined, selected and evaluated for the goal of land management by ecological specialists and scientists. On the other hand, pastoral communities have detailed information about their environment but only a few studies use pastoralists in real evaluating and interpreting land changes monitoring. In the present research two areas were selected in southern and eastern parts of GOLESTAN NATIONAL PARK. Two methods were selected for evaluating DEGRADATION INDICATORS: scientific method and LOCAL KNOWLEDGE method. For comparing the values of indicators inside and outside the park in our two study areas, permutation t-test was used. Results showed that in the semi-steppe Dasht rangeland annual vegetation production, litter cover and bare soil were three indicators indicated as significant and sensitive indictors by two evaluation methods and in the steppe rangeland of Mirza-Baylu, total vegetation cover, litter cover, invaders and poisonous plants and also bare soil were significant indicators by two methods of specialists and pastoralists.
