Abstract

This research was carried out to find the effect of GRAZING intensity on soil ORGANIC MATTER, carbon and NITROGEN. For the purpose, Lar region in North West of Haraz road, 84km from Tehran, was selected. By field inspection, three different areas of Reference, Key, and Critical were identified. Information on soil was collected as per random-systematic method. Soil samples were obtained from two horizons (0-10cm,10-30cm),in any soil profile and for three times during the GRAZING season. Twenty soil samples were obtained from each horizon during the three study periods. Data analysis was carried out using a split - split plot design. First, data were tested for normal distribution. Analysis of variance was used to test the treatment effects. Duncan test was employed to separate the means. Results indicated that carbon, total NITROGEN and ORGANIC MATTER decreased with increase in GRAZING in intensity, but no significant difference was observed in C/N ratio in the three study areas. Values in these factors were higher for surface layers. This research revealed the fact that heavy GRAZING jeopardizes the sustainability of the ecosystem by creating unfavorable changes in soil chemical characteristics as well as in vegetation vigor and endurance.
