Abstract

Increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere is one of the main causes of climate change, which is a change in ecosystems and, consequently, a reduction in biodiversity from the consequences and damage it poses. One of the human options to prevent the increasing concentration of carbon in the atmosphere is to reduce the gas's release from the soil. The cheapest way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the soil is to convert these gases into organic compounds or carbon sequestration, which is a natural process in the soils. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of land use on carbon sequestration and some soil characteristics in the Kermanshah province of Chaharzebar. For this purpose, 3 users were selected: forests, pasture and agriculture. The results showed that forest use has Higher value of mineral content, (MWD) and carbon content than pasture and agriculture. And agricultural use had the highest average bulk density (52.1 g / cm3) and the lowest carbon sequestration (296.4 ton / ha) than the other two users.
