Determination of Proper Reclamation Method in Rangeland Ecosystem of Khuzestan Province

This study was conducted in Khuzestan province rangeland to introduce the suitable reclamation method based on vegetation characteristics. In an attempt to reach this goal, four reformative methods, vis. precipitation storage project (pitting and furrowing) with broad cast seeding, planting, enclosure and ley farming which had been applied since 12 years ago, were compared. for vegetation sampling in each site, four 100m transects were established and then soil and vegetation characteristics including vegetation cover percentage, litter percentage, forage yield and bare soil percentage in 15 plots along each transect were measured. It was found that grazing management (enclosure) because of low cost and minor manipulation in ecosystem had a positive effect on soil and vegetation. After that precipitation storage project stood second. With regard to the fact that the ley farming project is highly expensive and planting project which was applied by incompatible species, are not recommended in order to improve the mentioned areas.
