| Popis: | Land management is one of the most important factors affecting the protection and carbon sequestration of natural ecosystems. If the ecosystem is maintained naturally, it will have suitable vegetation and soil stability. One of the important factors that affects land management is livestock grazing. In order to evaluate the impact of exclosure rangeland on carbon sequestration (CS) in salty rangelands, the study was carried out in Inchehboroun rangelands of Golestan province, Iran. The main purpose of current research was to evaluate the effectiveness of management of salt rangeland on CS by topsoil and halophytes species. For this purpose, 40 plots (with 2 m2 area) were located along 8 transects of 100 m in exclosure rangeland (ER) and grazing rangeland (GR) sites. The sampling method was randomized-systematic. In the area sampled, plant biomass was estimated. In addition, the content of above ground and underground biomass carbon, litter carbon, and soil organic carbon were determined for both ER and GR. The difference between the means was compared using Duncan test and t-test at P |
