“…The results of TOC and Cstock demonstrate the negative impact of incorrect pasture management, in which little vegetation cover limits the SOM entry into the soil (Santos et al, 2019;Segnini et al, 2019;Lopes et al, 2020). Segnini et al (2019) assessed C loss in pastures under different grazing intensities and reported low TOC contents in degraded pasture areas compared to natural vegetation areas.…”

This study aimed to assess the soil density (Sd) and the total organic carbon contents and stocks in different management systems and implementation times in the municipality of Iguatemi, MS, Brazil. A completely randomized design with four replications was applied to four areas: conventional tillage (CT), reformed pasture (RP), and degraded pasture (DP), in addition to a native forest (NF) area with no anthropic action. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were collected at depths of 0–0.05, 0.05–0.1, and 0.1–0.2 m. The determination of Sd and total organic carbon content (TOC) allowed calculating the carbon stock (Cstock), the stratification index (SI), and the carbon stock variation (ΔCstock), with subsequent multivariate analysis. The NF area presented the highest TOC contents at all depths compared to the managed areas, with a value of 17.45 g kg−1 at a depth of 0–0.05 m. The RP and NF areas showed similar SI, which was higher in PD, with a value of 2.54. Except for RP, the other managed areas showed a negative ΔCstock in the soil profile relative to the NF area. The RP and NF areas promoted the maintenance of TOC in the soil, while DP and CT compromised the edaphic quality.

“…Hal ini menyebabkan bahan organik tinggi sehingga berat isi rendah dan porositas tanah tinggi, maka laju infiltrasi akan relatif tinggi. Peningkatan jumlah bahan organik tanah merubah struktur tanah yang dapat meningkatkan porositas tanah (Schiavon et al, 2020). Titik M1 didapatkan daun dan ranting lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan titik lainnya karena memiliki kerapatan tajuk yang lebih rapat dan daun yang lebih lebat.…”

Climate change in coffee cultivation is very influential and can disrupt the hydrological cycle, so shade planting is required. Planting vegetation on coffee fields can affect the infiltration rate. The infiltration rate is the amount of water per unit time that enters the soil surface. The purpose of this study was to determine the infiltration rate with various shading, namely mixed shade (sengon, teak, pepper, and coconut), sengon shade, and monoculture coffee land and to determine the relationship between soil physical properties and infiltration rate on people's land. The measurement of the infiltration rate was done with a double ring infiltrometer and the Horton model. Infiltration rate can be influenced by a variety of soil properties such as bulk density, soil pore distribution, soil aggregate stability, soil texture, soil organic matter content, and land use. The analysis used correlation, linear regression, multiple linear regression, and t-test. Differences in shade and soil properties affect the infiltration rate, especially micropores and soil porosity. Soil with a lot of micro-pore soil, low porosity and clay texture has a slow infiltration rate. The results of the t-test between the actual infiltration rate and the infiltration rate of the Horton model showed no significant difference; therefore, the Horton method approach can be used in estimating the actual infiltration rate in coffee fields.

“…Rangeland degradation significantly reduces soil quality and incurs further soil loss. Several studies confirmed that overgrazing reduces soil quality indicators, including soil organic matter [2][3][4], soil nutrients [3,5], soil porosity [6], soil infiltration [6], and biomass production [5]. However, it increases bulk density [2,5], runoff, and soil loss [7,8].…”

“…Some investigations have been conducted to determine the effects of rehabilitation of degraded lands on improving the ecosystem quality [28][29][30][31]. For instance, studying the rehabilitation of the degraded pasture in Minas Gerais, Brazil, by a secondary forest, Schiavon Lopes et al [6] showed that the afforestation of the degraded land led to higher soil-water infiltration, larger macroporosity, and greater carbon storage compared to the pasture areas. To assess the impacts of land use conversion on soil quality indicators, soil quality indices (SQIs) are a widely used and simple method of quantifying soil quality [32][33][34].…”

Assessment of Soil Redistribution Following Land Rehabilitation with an Apple Orchard in Hilly Regions of Central Iran

This study was executed to explore soil redistribution and soil quality changes induced by land degradation and then rehabilitation by orchard plantation in different slope positions in a semi-arid region in central Iran. A total of 72 surface soil samples (0–30 cm) were collected from three land uses (natural rangelands, dryland farming, and apple orchards) in four slope positions (shoulder, backslope, footslope, and toeslope). The soil physicochemical properties and magnetic parameters were measured, and soil redistribution was determined in the selected soil samples using the 137Cs technique. The results showed that rangeland degradation and, subsequently, rainfed cultivation, led to a significant decline in the soil quality indicators, such as soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), available potassium (Kava), and available phosphorous (Pava), thus incurring further soil loss, as determined by the 137Cs technique. Conversely, the conversion and rehabilitation of drylands to apple orchards cultivated on the contour terraces improved soil quality significantly and decreased soil loss (p < 0.05) and soil quality grade (p < 0.01). Additionally, the findings indicated that slope positions relative to land use change had a reasonable impact on the variability of soil properties and soil loss and deposition. The results of 137Cs analysis showed that the drylands had the highest soil loss (185.3 t ha−1 yr−1) and maximum sedimentation (182. 5 t ha−1 yr−1) in the shoulder and footslope positions, respectively. The random forest model applied between 137Cs inventory and soil properties indicated that calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE), TN, Pava, Kava, and bulk density (ρb) could explain 75% of the total variability in 137Cs inventory with high R2 (0.94) and low RMSE (111.29). Magnetic measurements have shown great potential as a cost-effective and fast method for assessing soil redistribution in hilly regions, as confirmed by the findings of the 137Cs analysis, which agreed well with the magnetic susceptibility at low frequency (χlf). Overall, the results confirmed that restoring abandoned dryland by orchard cultivation may improve soil quality and diminish soil loss in the semi-arid region of Iran. However, further research is required to assess other aspects of the ecosystem affected by this restoration.
