چکیده

تغییر کاربری یکی از مهم‌ترین عامل‌هایی است که حفاظت از اکوسیستم‌های طبیعی را تحت تأثیر قرار می‌دهد. اگر اکوسیستم به‌طور طبیعی حفظ شود، پایداری خاک تأمین خواهد شد. پژوهش پیش‌رو به‌منظور بررسی اثر کاربری‌های مختلف اراضی بر توان ترسیب کربن خاک در منطقه چهارطاق اردل استان چهارمحال و بختیاری انجام شد. شش کاربری مختلف شامل جنگل قرق‌شده، جنگل طبیعی، جنگل تخریب‌شده، باغ، مرتع و کشاورزی انتخاب شدند و در هر کاربری 10 قطعه‌نمونه به‌طور منظم- تصادفی پیاده شد. در هر قطعه‌نمونه از پارامترهای کمی پوشش گیاهی آماربرداری شد و یک نمونه خاک از عمق صفر تا 60 سانتی‌متری برداشت شد. آزمایش‌‌های خاکشناسی برای تعیین بافت، وزن مخصوص ظاهری و کربن آلی خاک انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که در بین کاربری‌های مختلف اراضی، جنگل قرق‌شده با 47/46 تن در هکتار بیشترین میزان ترسیب کربن خاک را داشت. کمترین مقدار اندوخته کربن نیز مربوط به جنگل تخریب‌شده به میزان 13/68 تن در هکتار بود که ازنظر آماری دارای تفاوت معنی‌دار در سطح اطمینان 99 درصد بود. نتایج به‌دست‌آمده بیان‌گر این موضوع است که اگر اکوسیستم جنگلی از دخالت‌های انسانی در امان مانده باشد، نقش به‌سزایی در اندوخته بلندمدت کربن در خاک ایفا می‌‌کند. هرگونه دخالت در شرایط طبیعی اکوسیستم، تأثیر منفی خود را به ‌شکل محسوسی در اندوخته کربن خاک نشان می‌دهد.

چکیده [English]

Landuse change is one of the most important influential factors on the protection of natural ecosystems, since it greatly contributes to, for example, stabilizing soil and avoiding its erosion. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different landuses on soil carbon sequestration potential in Chahartagh-e Ardal area of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. To this aim, six different landuse types including natural forest, disturbed forest, enclosure forest, garden, grassland and agriculture were selected, followed by randomly drawing ten samples in each landuse type. In addition, quantitative parameters of existing vegetation, and 60 soil samples were also taken from the 0-60 cm soil depth in each plot. Soil analysis was performed to determine the texture, bulk density and soil organic carbon. The results showed that enclosure forest has the highest rate of carbon sequestration in soil among the different land uses (47.466 Mg C ha-1) and the lowest rate related to disturbed forest (13.689 Mg C ha-1), which was attributed to its appropriate vegetation and ecosystem dynamics. Moreover, a significant difference (p < 0.01) was observed. The results suggest that forest ecosystems that have not been influenced by human interferences play an important role in long-term storage of soil carbon. In addition, any interference in natural ecosystem condition can be associated with negative impact on different levels on soil carbon storage.
