Abstract

The effects of geologic, topographic, climatic and biotic factors appear in soil properties through time. So, soil properties are one of the important factors that influence distribution of vegetation especially in saline area. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationships between SOIL CHARACTERISTICS and vegetation distribution in order to determine the most important factors affecting on distribution and establishment of plant species. The study area in GHERKHELAR RANGELANDS is located in Marand of eastern Azarbayjan province. According to the distribution of vegetation cover and based on field surveys, plant communities were distinguished. To assessed vegetation in each plant community, ten transects with 50 m length and 100 m intervals were established. Within each transect, canopy cover, as well as density of species was measured using of point-quadrate method. In each community, profiles were dug and soil was sampled in depths of 0-20, 20-40, 40-60 cm. The soil samples was analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics such as: soil texture, Ec, pH, Na, Mg+Ca, ESP and PSW. MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was applied to determine relationships between soil and vegetation data using CANOCO soft wares. Results show specific relationship between SOIL CHARACTERISTICS and vegetation. Results of CCA showed that the effect of deferent soil parameters on plant species is not the same and the most important factors affecting on distribution and establishment of plant species in study area were Ec, Na, and PSW.
