Abstract
Introduction
Forests, encompassing approximately 30% of the Earth's land area, hold significant ecological importance due to their rich biodiversity and the multitude of environmental services they provide. These ecosystems outperform other terrestrial habitats, making them invaluable to all life forms on our planet. The destruction of forest habitats and changes in land use patterns exert significant impacts on the variability of soil quality indicators. The consequence of forest degradation encompass various adverse consequences, including the destruction of wildlife habitats, climate change, global warming, diminishing plant and animal biodiversity, and reduced water conservation capacity. Extensive research has been conducted to investigate soil quality in diverse land uses within temperate regions. However, there is a noticeable scarcity of studies focusing on semi-arid regions. It is imperative to note that a comprehensive and practical assessment of soil condition necessitates the simultaneous measurement of physical, chemical, and biological indicators. Such an integrated approach ensures a thorough and effective evaluation of soil quality. The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of various land uses, namely natural forest (C. betulus - P. persica), plantation (Q. castaneifolia), garden, rangeland, and agricultural lands (rice), on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the organic and mineral soil layers. Specifically, the investigation focused on the evaluation of fauna and flora, microbial communities, and enzyme activities. The study was conducted in the semi-arid region of Kajur Nowshahrmourd.
 
Materials and Methods
To achieve this objective, contiguous sections of the study area were carefully chosen, ensuring minimal variations in height above sea level, percentage and direction of slope. Subsequently, three slice of one-hectare dimension plots (100 × 100) were selected within each study habitat, with a minimum distance of 600 meters between them. From each one-hectare plot, four leaf litter samples and four soil samples (30 cm × 30 cm, 10 cm depth) were collected and transported to the laboratory for analysis. In total, 12 litter samples and 12 soil samples were collected from each of the habitats. The soil samples were divided into two parts: one part was air-dried and then passed through a 2 mm sieve for subsequent physical and chemical testing, while the other part was stored at 4 degrees Celsius for biological assessments. One-way analysis of variance tests were employed to compare the characteristics of the organic layer and soil among the studied habitats. Furthermore, Duncan's test (P>0.05) was utilized to compare the average parameters that exhibited significant differences among the different habitats.
 
Results and Discussion
The findings derived from this investigation underscore the substantial variability in organic layer characteristics across different vegetation types. Natural forests emerged as the most prominent in terms of thickness, nitrogen content, and calcium concentration, whereas agricultural areas exhibited the lowest values. Grassland areas displayed the highest carbon content and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, while agricultural and natural forest areas demonstrated comparatively lower values. Agricultural lands demonstrated elevated bulk density and sand content, whereas natural forests exhibited the lowest values. Notably, natural forests showcased the highest porosity, aggregate stability, silt percentage, and macro- and micro-aggregate quantities, while agricultural areas presented the lowest values. Chemical analysis of the soil indicated that natural forests recorded the highest values for most chemical characteristics, while agricultural lands displayed the lowest values. Biological attributes generally exhibited the highest levels in natural forests and the lowest levels in agricultural areas. Specifically, the abundance and biomass of epigeic and endogeic fauna did not exhibit significant differences among different land uses during the summer season. Managed forests demonstrated the highest values for moisture content, basal respiration, substrate-induced respiration, and microbial biomass carbon. Conversely, agriculture exhibited the lowest values in these regards. The microbial biomass carbon-to-nitrogen ratio was highest in agricultural areas, while natural forests displayed the lowest value. Natural forests displayed the highest values for most nitrogen transformation characteristics, whereas agricultural areas exhibited the lowest values. Nitrogen nitrification and mineralization showed a decreasing trend across different land uses during the summer and autumn seasons. The type of vegetation cover also significantly influenced the variability of soil ammonium and nitrate levels.
 
Conclusion
Based on the results obtained from this study, it can be inferred that the preservation and conservation of natural forest cover should be given utmost importance. Additionally, in degraded areas, the establishment of woody vegetation can serve as a viable approach for the restoration of ecosystems with similar ecological conditions. Furthermore, the presence of tree covers, specifically C. betulus and P. persica, is of greater significance compared to rangeland and agricultural land uses in enhancing soil fertility and creating favorable biological conditions. As a result, this research provides valuable insights into the impact of different land uses on the characteristics of the organic and mineral soil layers in mountainous habitats. The information obtained can be instrumental in guiding natural resource managers and offering practical assistance in decision-making processes.
