Wildlife and Livestock Grazing Effects on Some Physical and Chemical Soil Properties (Case Study: Kalmand-Bahadoran Arid Rangelands of Yazd Province)

摘要: Owing to the importance and necessity of identifying soil properties in arid rangeland management, variableeffects different kinds herbivores on soil, this study compares some physical chemical ofsoil between two regions experiencing livestock wildlife grazing desert rangelands Kalmand-Bahadoranin Yazd province. The key areas were selected, soilsamples taken at depths 0-30 cm using systematic random sampling method. All samples thentransferred laboratory determine desired parameters. Finally, characteristics compared betweenthe regions. results indicate that such as clay moisture percentage show nosignificant differences. Bulk density region reveals a highly significant increase comparedto area under (P<0.01). Calcium carbonate, acidity electrical conductivity parameters alsosaw from 18.33%, 8.47% 1.46% with 14.91%, 8.36% and1.35% site respectively In terms organic matters there was no significantdifference sites. Overall, changes have occurred result wildlifegrazing halophyte shrub species less pressure site.
