چکیده

به‌منظور بررسی اثرات شدت چرا بر روی برخی مشخصه‌های فیزیکی و شیمیایی خاک در مراتع دامنه‌های جنوب شرقی سبلان پس از بازدید صحرایی، سه منطقه با شدت چرایی سبک (آلوارس)، متوسط (آلداشین) و سنگین (اسبمرز) انتخاب و 27 نمونه خاک به روش تصادفی سیستیماتیک در مرکز پلات‌های یک مترمربعی در طول سه ترانسکت 200 متری برداشت شد. نمونه‌ها از سه عمق 15- صفر، 30-15 و 45-30 سانتی‌متری خاک برداشته شد و به آزمایشگاه انتقال و خصوصیات خاک شامل بافت، ماده آلی، کربن آلی، فسفر، پتاسیم، EC و pH اندازه‌گیری شدند. نتایج حاصل از تجزیه واریانس  و مقایسه میانگین‌ها با آزمون دانکن با توجه به فاکتورهای شدت چرا و عمق خاک حاکی از آن بود از بین فسفر و اسیدیته خاک اختلاف معنی‌داری نبود ولی سایر متغیر‌ها اختلاف معنی‌داری داشتند. نتایج نشان داد که با افزایش شدت چرا از میزان ماده آلی کاسته شده و کمترین میزان آن مربوط به عمق 45-30 سانتی‌متری منطقه تحت چرای سنگین است. با توجه به نتایج این پژوهش می‌توان چنین نتیجه‌گیری کرد که با افزایش شدت چرا ساختمان خاک دچار تخریب‌شده و برای جلوگیری از تخریب خاک در مراتع ییلاقی باید شیوه مدیریتی مبتنی بر چرای متعادل موردتوجه قرار گیرد.

چکیده [English]

To evaluate the effects of grazing on some physical and chemical properties of soil, in the summer rangelands of southern slopes of Sabalan, three regions with different grazing intensity were selected after field observation and 27 soil samples were randomly taken along three 200-m transects. Soil samples were taken from the depths of 15-0, 30-15 and 45-30 cm and transported to laboratory and soil properties such as texture, organic matter, organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium, EC and pH were measured. Analysis of variance and mean comparison were made using Duncan's test. Results showed that no significant difference was found for soil pH and phosphorus among the grazing intensity treatments and soil depths; however, significant differences were observed for other variables. The results showed that organic matter content decreased with increasing of grazing intensity and the lowest content was recorded for the 30-45 cm soil depth in the heavy grazing area. According to the results of this research it can be concluded that soil structure is degraded with increased grazing intensity; therefore, a balanced grazing need to be taken into account in summer rangelands to prevent soil degradation.
