چکیده
عوامل خاکسازی در تشکیل و تکامل خاکهای هر منطقه مؤثر میباشند. در بین عوامل خاکسازی تأثیر متقابل اقلیم و توپوگرافی (اشکال اراضی) بر شدت هوادیدگی و تخریب مواد مادری، روند پیدایش و تکامل خاکها را تحت تأثیر قرار میدهد. این پژوهش به بررسی اثرات توأم اقلیم و ژئومورفولوژی بر خصوصیات خاک میپردازد. منطقه مورد مطالعه از ارتفاعات کوه هزار واقع در نزدیکی شهر راین آغاز و به سطوح فلات واقع در نزدیکی شهر بم ختم شد. رژیمهای رطوبتی خاک منطقه، زریک و اریدیک و رژیم حرارتی آن، مزیک میباشد. تعداد 9 خاکرخ در اشکال اراضی پدیمنت سنگی، پدیمنت پوشیده، دشت دامنهای، فلات و دشت، مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. نتایج افزایش قابلیت هدایت الکتریکی از پدیمنت سنگی به طرف دشت و کاهش آن را در رژیم زریک نسبت به اریدیک نشان داد. وجود افق آرجیلیک در خاکرخ 5، مربوط به اقلیم کنونی و در خاکرخهای 8 و 9، مربوط به رطوبت قابل دسترس بیشتر در اقلیم گذشته است. تغییر رده خاک در سطح پدیمنت سنگی از اریدیسول به اینسپتیسول بهعلت تغییر رژیم رطوبتی میباشد. پوششها و پرشدگیهای کلسیت، گچ و رس و بلورهای منفرد گچ و صفحات در هم قفل شده گچ از عوارض خاکساخت غالب منطقه بودند. کانیهای ایلیت، کلریت، کائولینیت، اسمکتیت و کوارتز در اشکال اراضی پدیمنت سنگی و پدیمنت پوشیده و کانی پالیگورسکیت منحصراً در شکل اراضی پدیمنت پوشیده مشاهده گردید. نتایج بیانگر ارتباط نزدیک خاک با اقلیم و ژئومورفولوژی میباشند. تغییر اقلیم و توپوگرافی در منطقه بر خصوصیات خاکها و در نهایت طبقهبندی خاکهای منطقه مؤثر بوده است.

چکیده [English]
Introduction: Genesis and development of soils are highly affected by soil forming factors and processes. Climate and topography (landform) are among the factors affecting weathering of parent material and genesis and development of soils in an area. Besides, various morphological, physical, and chemical properties, micromorphology, and clay mineralogy of soils at different geomorphic positions are usually affected by different soil forming factors including parent material and climate. The objectives of the present research were to study the effect of climate and geomorphology on physicochemical properties, micromorphology, and clay mineralogy of the soils in Rayen area, Kerman Province.
Materials and Methods: The study area starts from Hezar mountain elevations close to Rayen city (south east of Kerman Province) and extends to plateaus surfaces around Bam city. Quaternary and Neogene formations were found from geology point of view. Mean annual precipitation is in the range of 200-300 mm. Five landforms including rock pediment, mantled pediment, piedmont plain, plateaus, and valley were investigated during field work followed by topography, geology, and Google map studies in the area. According to 1:2500000 map provided by Soil and Water Research Institute, xeric and aridic soil moisture regimes together with mesic soil temperature regime were found in the area. Nine representative pedons were studied based on climatic regimes and different geomorphic surfaces. Pedons 1 and 2 were located on rock pediment with an aridic soil moisture regime. On the other hand, pedon 3 was located on the same surface, but with xeric moisture regime. Pedons 4 and 5 were also located on mantled pediment with aridic and xeric moisture regimes, respectively. Pedon 6 was located on piedmont plain and in the aridic moisture zone. Pedons 7, 8 (Plateaus), and 9 (Valley) were all in the aridic moisture zone. Physical and chemical properties, micromorphology, and clay mineralogy of soils were investigated and the soils were classified using USDA Soil Taxonomy (12th edition) and latest edition of World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) systems.
Results and Discussion: Cambic, gypsic, argillic (or argic), calcic, and petrocalcic horizons were investigated during field and laboratory studies. Typic Haplocambids (pedons 1 and 2), Typic Calcixerepts (pedon 3), Typic Torriorthents (pedon 8), Calcic Petrocalcids (pedon 7), Typic Calcigypsids (pedon 6), Typic Xerorthents (pedon 5), Typic Haplocalcids (pedon 4), and Typic Calciargids (pedon 9) were classified using Soil Taxonomy (2014) and Gypsisols (pedon 6), Calcisols (pedons 3, 4, 7, and 9), Cambisols (pedons 1 and 2), and Regosols (pedons 5 and 8) Reference Soil Groups were determined using WRB (2015) system. Electrical conductivity increased from rock pediment toward valley and decreased from aridic toward xeric soil moisture regimes. Formation of argillic horizon in pedon 5 (Xeric moisture regime) was attributed to the climate of present time, but pedons 8 and 9 with aridic moisture regime could probably have experienced a climate with more available humidity for argillic horizon to be formed. Besides, petrocalcic horizon formation in pedon 7 was also attributed to a climate with more available humidity in the past. A buried soil (Btkb horizon) was determined in pedons 5 and 8 under the modern soil. Soil moisture regime change from aridic to xeric in rock pediment surface caused change of Aridisol to Inceptisol, but classification of soils in WRB system, was not affected. Secondary forms of calcium carbonate including powdery pocket, soft masses, and mycelium and secondary gypsum such as fine and coarse pendants were found during field studies. Calcite, gypsum, and clay coatings and infillings together with isolated gypsum crystals and gypsum interlocked plates were among dominant micromorphological pedofeatures investigated. Calcite coatings on aggregates and soil particles associated with clay coating prove the role of paleoclimate in soil formation. On the other hand, presence of manganaze nodules is an evidence of oxidation/reduction condition taken place in the xeric moisture conditions of pedon 5 (rock pediment). Illite, chlorite, kaolinite, and smectite were investigated in both rock and mantled pediments, but palygorskite was only found in mantled pediments. Climate also played a significant role in determining the source (pedogenic or geogenic) of clay minerals.
Conclusions: Results of this study clearly showed the close relationship among soil formation, topography (geomorphic surface) and climate. Soil physicochemical properties, micromorphology, clay mineralogy, and soil classification were highly affected by climate and geomorphology.
