بررسی تأثیر جوامع جنگلی بلوط، ارس و بنه- بادام بر اندوخته کربن آلی خاک (مطالعه موردی: استان چهارمحال و بختیاری)

Climate change and global warming pose significant challenges to sustainable development, primarily driven by the increase in greenhouse gases. Carbon sequestration in vegetation and soil is a simple and cost-effective method for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and carbon storage. Soil carbon sequestration has a significant impact on atmospheric carbon dioxide and changes in soil carbon density can lead to significant changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This study examines the impact of forest communities on soil organic carbon stock in three forest communities of oak (Gerdaneh-cheri), juniper (Chahartaq), and pistachio-almond (Karehbas) in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. Soil samples were collected from different forest areas and the amount of soil organic carbon in each region was measured. To measure soil organic carbon, soil samples were collected and then calculated using a computational relationship. According to the results of this study, it was observed that the amount of soil organic carbon sequestration varies significantly between different forest communities. The oak forest community with 79.38 tons per hectare had the highest amount of soil organic carbon stock, followed by the juniper and pistachio-almond forest communities with 67.74 and 36.44 tons per hectare, respectively. Considering the importance of forests in carbon sequestration and maintaining the balance of carbon storage in soil, this study can be effective in developing appropriate approaches for optimal forest management and increasing carbon storage in soil.
