The Appraisal of Land Use Changes and its Influence on Soil Quality Indexes in Gambue Region Western of Khouzestan Province
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 22
Abstract
The increase in human population has increased the expectations of life standards and scarcity of natural resources. Today, there is a consensus that land-use change is one of the main causes of the change in the quality of the soil in the environment. Due to the importance of this issue, a study was conducted on the land-use changes and effects of these changes on some of the qualitative indicators of soil in an area of 3000 hectares in Gambue region western of Khuzestan Province, Iran. The results of this research showed that by changing land-use from rangeland to irrigation farming and forest, the amount of soil pH and sand particle percent increases and silt content decrease. As the result of ignoring such rules the quality of soil will gradually declined and this vital environmental platform will face a serious crisis.
