摘要:The present study comprises the analysis of soil samples across the park. The samples were analyzed fortheir temperature, moisture content, pH, salinity, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter, nitrate, and phosphatecontents. Results showed a direct proportional relationship between soil salinity and EC. Soil organic matter has alsocorrelation with soil pH in which plots with high soil pH have less organic content. Contour of land affected soilcharacteristics in which sites with relatively low-land areas received high salinity, EC and phosphate content. But themost important finding was the role of vegetation. Plots which high plant cover performed to have soil with relativelyneutral pH, high nitrate and phosphate content, but low salinity and EC values. Comparation to earlier condition showedthat soil pH, salinity and EC were decreasing during five year period. Soil organic matter, nitrate and phosphate contenthave also been increasing significantly.
