摘要

Understanding the role of soils in the soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) cycle is essential, assumed that these parameters are among the key soil quality indicators in a given landscape. Nothing but their status is in a state of continual flux due to land-use, soil management practices, and nature of topographic features. Thus, this study has evaluated the effect of land-use types and altitudinal gradient on SOC and TN concentrations and stocks at a watershed scale in northern Ethiopia. A total of 450 topsoil samples (0–30 cm depth) were collected from four different land-use types (Fig.3) across three elevational categories (Fig.1(b)), and their SOC and TN distributions were studied using descriptive statistics and geostatistical methods. Results revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences in SOC and TN concentrations and stocks by land-use type, elevation, and their interactions. The highest SOC stock was recorded at the lower elevation in GL (7.24 Mg C ha−1), followed by PF (4.65 Mg C ha−1) in the middle and GL (4.61 Mg C ha−1) in the upper elevations, respectively. On the other hand, the lowest SOC stock was observed in the BL areas of the upper (2.34 Mg C ha−1) and middle (2.75 Mg C ha−1) elevations. Spatially, the mean SOC stocks of the different land-uses were in the following order: GL > PF > CL > BL in upper elevation, PF > GL > CL > BL in middle elevation, and GL˃CL in lower elevation, respectively. The estimated total SOC and TN stocks of the study watershed were about 46,868.66 ± 7747.38 Mg C and 7,008.02 ± 441.25 Mg N, respectively. The notable difference is attributable to lack of vegetation cover, unsustainable land-use system, and land degradation via water erosion. Hence, these physical landscape disturbances result in disruption of SOC and TN's storage and stability. The SOC and TN stocks have shown a significant (p < 0.05) negative correlation with soil bulk density in the study watershed. The study concludes that variations in the land-use along topographic gradients drive the soils' SOC and TN storage. Therefore, land suitability planning, soil and water conservation measures, and reforestation practices are needed and practical worth increasing SOC and TN storage in the watershed.
