چکیده مقاله:
Aims: This study investigates the response of some soil bio-physicochemical properties under different grazing intensities management in a ۱۷-year-old arid rangeland ecosystem of Iran.
Material & Methods: The grazing intensity gradient was as follows: (۱) without herbivore grazing over a whole year (NG), (۲) grazing by sheep and goats done communally from November to May (RG), and (۳) continuous and heavy grazing over a whole year (HG). The soil samples were collected from the upper ۲۰ cm in November and May.
Findings: The significantly higher bulk density values (P<۰.۰۵) were measured with increasing grazing intensities, i.e., ۱.۶۵, ۱.۸۲, and ۱.۹۶ g.cm-۳ in NG, RG, and HG, respectively. The management system affected significantly (P<۰.۰۵) organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K), as well as enzyme activity of acid- and alkaline phosphatase (ACP, ALP) and urease. Similarly, the time of sampling affected significantly (P<۰.۰۵) OC, P, C, ACP, ALP, and urease activity in the soil. The soil OC ranged from ۰.۴۶ to ۲.۷۸ %, K ranged from ۵۱.۸۱ to ۹۲.۰۶ ppm, TN and P showed significantly (P<۰.۰۵) higher HG and RG values than NG. The soil pH ranged from ۷.۸۹ to ۸.۳۲, and EC (electric conductivity) ranged from ۰.۴۷ to ۰.۹۳ dS.m-۱, which was significantly affected neither by the grazing management system nor by sampling time. The TN showed a high positive correlation with ALP (r = ۰.۸۹), urease (r = ۰.۷۲), and dehydrogenase (r = ۰.۷۶). The OC, P, ACP, and ALP responded more sensitively to grazing management systems.
Conclusion: The presence of animals in our study site positively affected soil fertility. However, similar studies are required to complete our knowledge under different climatic conditions, vegetation-grazer types, and grazing duration.
