Abstract

Desert ecosystems have negative effects on the environment and restoring by different methods including afforestation with appropriated non-native species. With regard to the importance of preserving biodiversity in a more stable and better ecological cycle, also to evaluate the effects of afforestation on biodiversity, in this study we examined the effects of afforestation with Prosopis juliflora on the plants biodiversity in regional catastrophic wind erosion in the Susa, Khuzestan province. Furthermore, the effect of different canopy coverage on species diversity in the ecosystem was evaluated in this study. To this two 10-ha stands with canopy 50-25% and 100-75% were selected. Also, a 10 ha at the vicinity of afforestation site was selected as control with no afforestation practice. In each site 15 sample plots were established and woody and herbaceous species in the plots were recorded. Our results showed that afforestation led to decrease richness and species diversity. Furthermore, Simpson index of diversity, Menhenick and Smith-wilson indices are suitable diversity indices for biodiversity evaluation in study sites. Also, our result indicated that increasing in canopy coverage will result in decreasing and increasing richness and evenness respectively.
