Land-use Change Impacts on Soil and Vegetation Attributes in the Kanshi River Basin, Potohar Plateau, Pakistan

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Soil erosion and land degradation have been intensified recently concerning large-scale land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change attributed to deforestation and farm mechanization. This phenomenon motivates the rationale for the assessment of such land-use changes and concerning impacts on soil and vegetation attributions in the Kanshi River basin using various remote sensing techniques in 1987-2019. The image classification enabled the identification of dry and highland zones. It was observed that around 17% of vegetation cover disappeared and converted into agricultural land. Significant increase in extensive agricultural practices, population growth, settlement, and the brick industrial area enhanced soil erosion and changed the landscape of the Kanshi region during 1987-2019, confirmed by 80% inhabitants. Such observed erosion was further classified and quantified as gully erosion, rill erosion, sprinkle erosion and sheet erosion at the rates of 43%, 27% ,9% and 21%, respectively. Similarly, soil classes became doubled in 2019 as Sambrial associated (1%), Rajar complex (36%), Dhulian association (15%), Gullied (15%), Missa complex, Rough mountainous (2%), and Rough broken (17%), compared to four classes in 1987 as gullied land, missa complex, rough broken land, and orrent bed land. in 2019, while in year 1987, four types of soils were observed: The identified soil series were well-drained and with limited water holding capacity. The soil erosion is natural and inevitable. However, its extent can be minimized by effective water resources management for this basin.
