چکیده

هدف این تحقیق شناخت عوامل محیطی مؤثر بر پراکنش دو گونه Dactylis glomerata و Thymus kotschyanus در مراتع شهرستان‌های خلخال و کوثر در بخش جنوبی استان اردبیل بوده است. از 111 مکان تعیین شده با استفاده از 5 پلات 1 متر مربعی در طول ترانسکت 40 متری به روش تصادفی- سیستماتیک نمونه­برداری انجام شد. در تمامی مکان­ها پارامترهای سطحی مرتع شامل درصد سنگ و سنگریزه، خاک لخت، لاشبرگ، و تراکم گونه­های مورد مطالعهثبت شد. نمونه­برداری خاک از عمق 30 سانتی­متری خاک در هر ترانسکت انجام شد. خصوصیات خاک شامل اسیدیته، کربن آلی، پتاسیم، فسفر، هدایت الکتریکی، درصد شن، رس و سیلت اندازه­گیری شد. برای بررسی تفاوت معنی­داری بین اثرات عوامل محیطی بر حضور و عدم حضور گونه­های مورد مطالعه، تجزیه واریانس یک­طرفه انجام شد. برای مقایسه میانگین خصوصیات اندازه­گیری شده از آزمون دانکن استفاده شد. برای تعیین درجۀ اهمیت متغیرهای اندازه­گیری شده در پراکنش گونه‏های مورد مطالعه و تأیید گروه­بندی مکان­های نمونه­برداری، از آنالیز تشخیص کانونیک استفاده شد. نتایج حاصل از تجزیه واریانس نشان داد که از لحاظ ارتفاع، شیب، دما، بارندگی، سنگ و سنگریزه، لاشبرگ، هدایت الکتریکی تفاوت معنی‌داری بین حضور و عدم حضور گونه‌ها وجود دارد (01/0P<). گونۀ D.glomerataدر جهت شمالی و در سطوح با شیب، لاشبرگ، رس و مادۀ آلی بیشتر و گونۀ T.kotschyanus در دامنه غربی و در سطوح با شن، سنگ و سنگریزه و سیلت بیشتر رشد بهتری دارد. با توجه به نتایج حاصل از آنالیز تشخیص کانونیک، دو تابع به ترتیب 8/77 و 2/22 درصد و در مجموع 100 درصد از واریانس کل داده­ها را توجیه کردند و به ­طور کلی 4/94 درصد موارد گروه­بندی شده، به­درستی طبقه­بندی شدند. در کل نتایج تجزیه تشخیص کانونیک نشان داد که هدایت الکتریکی، لاشبرگ، بارندگی، دما و ارتفاع و همچنین خصوصیات مربوط به خاک مانند پتاسیم، سیلت و خاک لخت مهم­ترین عوامل مؤثر در پراکنش گونه­های مورد مطالعه هستند. با توجه به نتایج می‌توان در پیشنهاد این گونه‌ها برای مدیریت، اصلاح و احیاء مراتع به‌ طور مناسب‌تری تصمیم‌گیری نمود.

چکیده [English]

The aim of this study was identifying the effects of environmental factors on the distribution ofDactylisglomerataand Thymus kotschyanusin rangelands of Khalkhal and Kosar counties in the southern part of Ardabil province. From 111 selected sites, random systematic sampling was done using five 1m2 plots along a 40 m transect. In all sites, land cover parameters including stone and gravel percentage, bare soil, litter, and density of selected species were recorded. Soil samples were taken from the 0 to 30 cm of soil surface of each transect. Soil parameters including pH, organic carbon, potassium, phosphorus, electrical conductivity, Sand, Clay, and Silt were measured. One way ANOVA was used to study the significance of relationship between the effective environmental factors on the presence and absence of the selected species.Duncan's test was used to compare the measured factors.To determine the importance of measured variables on the distribution of selected species and grouping of sampling sites, canonical discriminant analysis was used. Results showed that variables of elevation, slope, temperature, rainfall, stone, gravel, litter, electrical conductivity are significantly different when species exist in contrast to the time that it does not exist (p<0.01). D. glomerata is mostly distributed on north aspect, and on sloppy areas, and the areas with the high litter, clay and organic matter, and T. kotschyanus is mostly distributed on west aspect, and on the areas with the high amount of sand, stone and gravel, and silt that create a good condition for the growth of this species. According to the results of canonical discriminant analysis, two functions with 77.8 and 22.2% and they explained totally 100% of the variance of data, and generally 94/4% of grouped cases, were correctly classified. Overall, the results of canonical discriminant analysis show that electrical conductivity, litter, precipitation, temperature, elevation, potassium, silt and bare soil are the most important variables in the distribution of D. glomerata and T. kotschyanus. Considering these results, better decisions can be made about management, restoration, and reclamation of rangelands.
