Assessment of Land Cover Changes and Their Effect on Soil Organic Carbon and Soil Total Nitrogen in Daqing Prefecture, China

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the influence of land cover changes on soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN) in the Daqing Prefecture of China, where heavy industrialisation in the form of dense oil wells has impacted the environment. Time‐series presentations for the period 1978 to 2008 of remotely sensed data and soil survey data were used to assess the extent of the changes. The study revealed soil degradation under all land cover types and in all soil types, grassland retreat (−15 pe… Show more

“…Climate change has recently been one of the most complex challenges that has affected all the countries in the world (The World Bank, 2010). Among others factors, such as emissions of CO 2 (Muñoz-Rojas et al, 2012) and alterations in the global nitrogen cycle (Wu et al, 2013;Yu et al, 2012), LUCC is understood as one of the most important. LUCC and specially ALC are recognized as an unavoidable phenomenon during economic development and population growth (Haque et al, 2008;Tan et al, 2009; J. J.…”

“…In these environments, soil loss and vegetation deterioration have increasingly been accelerated by improper use of land and water resources (Geist and Lambin, 2002;Ma et al, 2002;Lei et al, 2006;Wei et al, 2008;Zhao et al, 2013). The conversion of natural vegetation to cropland and overgrazing will therefore affect the storage of soil organic matter and soil nutrients (Li et al, 2005;Yu et al, 2012;Bruun et al, 2013). During the last few decades, land degradation associated with land use/cover changes in dryland ecosystems have been the focus of the study of land/vegetation processes and climatic change (Reid et al, 2000;Masoud and Koike, 2006;Reynolds et al, 2007;John et al, 2009;Bakr et al, 2010;Tsegaye et al, 2010;Schulz et al, 2010).…”

“…Grasslands play an important role in geomorphological processes (controlling runoff and sediment dynamics) and ecosystem stability (Kocyigita and Demirc, 2012;Mukhopadhyay and Maiti, 2013;Yu et al, 2013;Kukal and Bawa, 2013). Fire is part of the Earth system and has for millennia been a tool for many societies (Pyne, 2001), and this is well-known in grasslands (Dickie and Parson, 2012).…”
