Abstract

Biodiversity assessment is important for better understanding of ecosystem structure and function, gene bank conservation and evaluating and controlling environmental changes. Knowledge of the effect of GRAZING on standing vegetation structure and SOIL SEED BANK is essential for better management. This research was conducted to compare the diversity and richness indices under EXCLOSURE and GRAZING in MAHOOR MAMASANI rangelands. Sampling of standing vegetation and SOIL SEED BANK was carried out in these two areas. Canopy cover percentage was measured in plots of 1m2 and SOIL SEED BANK samples were taken from two depths (0-5 and 5-10). Standing vegetation and SOIL SEED BANK data were analyzed to evaluate the response of individual species diversity and richness indices and SOIL SEED BANK to GRAZING. Also, multivariate analyses were applied to assess the response of plant communities in both standing vegetation and SOIL SEED BANK. Results showed that GRAZING and EXCLOSURE affected species diversity and richness indices, significantly. EXCLOSURE area showed the highest species richness and diversity while the lowest was recorded for GRAZING area. Also, aboveground vegetation significantly had greater species richness and diversity. Due to the damage of some standing vegetation and SOIL SEED BANK indices of biodiversity under overgrazing, it is recommended to make some changes in current rangeland management and utilization in order to restore vegetation.
