The effect of windthrow disturbances on biochemical and chemical soil properties in the northern mountainous forests of Iran
Original language description
Land degradation as a result ofwind (aeolian processes) is one of themost significant causes of soil loss in northern Iran. In order to gain a broader understanding of the specific effects of aeolian disturbance on soils in this region, research was conducted to evaluate soil microbial respiration and nitrogenmineralization in placeswhere differences inmicrotopography occur due to the uprooting of trees bywindthrowevents, thereby causing variations in microtopography hereby referred to as ?pit?mound positions?. A twenty-hectare study site situatedwithin the TarbiatModaresUniversity Experimental Forest Station located in theMazandaran province of northern Iran was chosen for this research, with thirty-four uprooted trees selected for detailed study. A classification of five micrositeswas developed to distinguish differences in microtopography in the immediate vicinity of these uprooted trees:mound top,moundwall, pit bottom, pitwall and closed canopy. Soil was sampled in the 0?15, 15?30
