ملخص المقالة :
استان خوزستان از جمله استان‌هایی است که در سال‌های اخیر با پدیده ریزگردها دست به گریبان بوده و پیامدهای اقتصادی، اجتماعی و زیست محیطی بسیاری را متحمل شده است. بدین منظور این تحقیق با هدف ارزیابی شاخص-های سطح خاک برای شناسایی وضعیت قطعات اکولوژیک در اراضی تپه ماهوری زوئیر در شهرستان باوی و استان خوزستان برنامه‌ریزی شد. منطقه مورد مطالعه در شرق شهرستان باوی و در فاصله 5 کیلومتری شهر ملاثانی و 8/41 کیلومتری اهواز در استان خوزستان واقع شده است. واحد نمونه‌برداری در این تحقیق ترانسکت خطی بوده که در طول آن لکه‌های اکولوژیکی و فضای بین لکه‌ای به صورت تصادفی انتخاب گردید، سپس یازده شاخص خاک که تعیین-کننده سه ویژگی عملکردی (پایداری، نفوذپذیری و چرخۀ غذایی عناصر) می‌باشند طبق دستورالعمل تانگوی و هیندلی امتیازدهی گردید. در مرحله بعدی با استفاده از نرم‌افزار LFA سه ویژگی عملکردی براساس امتیازات شاخص‌های مرتبط با آن تعیین و به منظور تجزیه و تحلیل آماری و مقایسۀ لکه‌های اکولوژیکی از نرم‌افزار SPSS استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که در منطقه مورد بررسی بیشترین درصد پایداری خاک مربوط به لکه درختی می‌باشد و کمترین درصـد آن مربوط به فضای بین لکه‌ای (خاک لخت) است. همچنین بیشترین درصد چرخه عناصر غذایی مربوط به لکه تنه درختی و درختی بوده و فضای بین لکه‌ای (خاک لخت) و لکه فورب دارای کمترین چرخه مواد غذایی بوده‌اند. همچنین بر خلاف فرضیه‌های تحقیق بیشترین درصد نفوذپذیری مربوط به خاک لخت بوده است.
