Abstract

Background and Objectives: Management practices such as Land use change is one of the main components of global change that affects the process, structure and function of ecosystems by changing microbial communities (due to their role in the decomposition of organic matter and food mineralization). Changes in soil biological characteristics due to Land use change and management practices may lead to significant changes in soil organic carbon dynamics, soil Microbial respiration and affect nutrient cycle and plant growth. Therefore, to better understand human management on carbon cycle, it seems necessary to understand the correlation between soil microbial properties during Land use change. Materials and Methods: The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal dynamics of soil Microbial characteristics during Land use change in Rangelands around Kiasar Chahardangeh city of Mazandaran. For this purpose, in this basin, the studied habitats were including Erost village with pastures turned into agricultural lands (barley) and orchards (apples and walnuts) with an age of more than 30 years, with a control pasture, Vavsar village with pastures turned into lands. Agriculture (barley) and orchard (apple and walnut) with an age of more than 20 years with a control pasture and also Rangelands converted to garden use (apple and walnut) less than 10 years and Ara village with Rangelands converted into agricultural land (Barley) less than 10 years old with a control pasture. Soil sampling in each Land use was done systematically randomly from two depths of 0-15 and 15-30 cm. In total, ten soil samples from Land uses were transferred to the laboratory for analysis of soil physico-chemical characteristics including texture, bulk density, moisture content, organic carbon, total nitrogen, pH and Microbial characteristics including Basal respiration, Substrate induced respiration, Microbial biomass carbon, Microbial biomass nitrogen and Microbial biomass phosphorus, qCO2, microbial ratio and carbon capability index. Results: The results showed that the highest number of physicochemical characteristics (except sand and silt percentage and bulk density, pH and C/N) and soil Microbial characteristics (qCO2, microbial ratio and carbon capability index and MBC/MBN) at both depths and mean depths belonged to orchard Land uses older than 20 and 30 years. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicates that over time, higher values of microbial activity and soil fertility in the orchard uses are older than 20 and 30 years with a completely different location on the axis. In general, the results of this study showed that the variability of organic carbon, total nitrogen, acidity and soil moisture content in the long run caused an increase in Microbial respiration rate (Basal respiration and Substrate induced respiration), While the qCO2 in the orchard less than 10 years old and control Rangeland for lands older than 20 years, also the microbial ratio in the control Rangeland for lands less than ten years old had the highest value, while the carbon capability index dident show a significant difference between users of different ages. Conclusion: In general, the results of this study showed that soil characteristics in orchard uses with older ages were in a better condition. Also, variability in soil physicochemical properties changed the Microbial characteristics of the soil over time. Therefore, it is suggested that longterm studies and management strategies to reduce uncertainty and estimate the rate of organic Carbon pool of ecosystems, which are not unrelated to soil Microbial characteristics, are considered necessary during Land use change.
