Title

STUDY OF THE MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF NEBKHAS AND THE AMOUNT OF ACCUMULATED SAND IN NITRARIA SCHOBERI TYPE IN MIGHAN PLAYA ARAK, IRAN

Pages

  19-28

Abstract

 Phytogenic mounds (nebkhas), which are formed by shrubs, are common phenomena in arid and semiarid landscapes and play important roles in preventing soil erosion and nutrient loss. NITRARIA SCHOBERI is one of the important indigenous plant species of MIGHAN PLAYA that can not only protect itself against WIND EROSION but also reduce sediment removal and can form NEBKHA phenomenon. This study aims at examining the role of NITRARIA SCHOBERI in controlling WIND EROSION (nebkha formation), and its morphometric relation with the accumulated sand in marginal dune land of MIGHAN PLAYA, Arak, Iran. This study performed at an area of one hectare. In order to analyze the morphometric characteristic of NEBKHAs and the amount of sand accumulated in this vegetative type, parameters including length, width and height of the NEBKHAs and the canopy cover of nitre bushes were measured separately. The results reveal that NITRARIA SCHOBERI can stabilize 1576 m3h-1 in average that is a remarkable number, considering the dimensions of the NEBKHAs and can prevent soil erosion. The results also showed significant correlation between the dimensions of NEBKHAs with large diameter, small diameter, plant canopy cover diameter and canopy area and total height of the plant (from the plain level) (P<0.01).
