The population wasteful growth and the needs supply necessity and food security of the community have drawn the attention of men's government and researchers to sustainable agriculture. One of the actions to reach new soil resources to produce more food is land use change. Land use change depending on environmental and climatic conditions may have positive or negative effects on soil quality. Adequate understanding of the effects of land use change is one of the most important issues in land planning, policy making and planning. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pasture change on soil quality indices in Hana Dam, Semirom City. For this purpose, sampling was carried out from four land uses including garden, crop use, pasture land and graze land at 0-5 and 5-20 cm depths. The bulk density, porosity, pH, texture, aggregate stability, hydrophobicity, hydraulic conductivity, soil water characteristic curve, penetration resistance, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and microbial respiration of soil samples were measured. The highest and lowest MWD (0.41 and 0.23 mm) and hydraulic conductivity (0.4 and 0.1 dS/m) were obtained for garden and crop use, respectively. The highest organic matter content (2.95%) was related to graze land and the lowest (0.74%) was related to pasture land. In addition, graze land had 0.08 % and crop use had 0.06 % total nitrogen. The value of 1.03 mg/kg phosphorus was related to pasture and 0.69 mg/kg to crop land. The highest and the lowest values of soil respiration were obtained for crop land (595.52 mg/kg) and garden (538.12 mg/kg). Most of the studied soil properties including EC, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, hydraulic conductivity and microbial respiration were correlated with organic matter in the present study. These findings indicate the role of soil organic matter as a controlling factor on physical, chemical and biological properties. Interaction effects of land use change and soil depth had significant effect on the EC, nitrogen, phosphorus and microbial respiration but not on pH, aggregate stability and organic matter. This results showed that these parameters were more sensitive to land use change in the Semirom erea. The results of water repellency using the intrinsic sorptivity and water drop penetration test showed that the soils of the study area were sub critically water repellent. Saturated and residual water contents and water contents at field capacity (FC) and permanent wilting point (PWP) were highest in garden. Moreover, hydraulic conductivity values of 0.4 and 0.1 cm/min were observed in garden and crop land uses, respectively. Overall land use change and soil depth had significant effects on soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics such as EC, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and microbial respiration.
