Abstract :

The simplest and most economical technique to reduce CO2 of atmosphere and climate regulationis carbon sequestration in plant and soil by development of vegetation and green space. Impact ofafforestation and soil fertility on soil carbon sequestration and climate regulation was investigated, intwo 15-year old stands of needle-leaved (Pinus eldarica) and broad-leaved (Robinia pseudoacacia) in2 areas with different irrigation treatments (municipal effluent and well water) and also a control area(without afforestation), in an arid zone (south of Tehran).For this purpose, sample plots (30 m × 30 m) were systematic-randomly chosen in either of bothstands. In each sample plot, four soil profiles were dug to take the samples in depths of 0-15, 15-30and 30-60 cm. In laboratory, soil organic carbon (SOC) content of soil samples was determined by theWalkley–Black method.The results demonstrated that in each stand there was a significant difference (p<0.01) in theamount of soil carbon sequestration between two irrigation treatments (municipal effluent and wellwater). No significant difference in the amount of soil carbon sequestration of two stands wasdetected, but each stand sequestered higher carbon content in soil compared to that of in control area.In two studied stands, with increasing of soil carbon content, growth parameters and biomasssignificantly (p<0.01) were increased.With regard to more average of wood biomass and carbon sequestration and be evergreen of elderpine trees, can say that afforestation of eldar pine in comparison with block locust has more role indecreasing of air pollution and climate regulation.
