Abstract

ABSTRACT Paya subalpine rangelands are used for livestock grazing and recreation during Summer. Both livestock grazing and off road vehicle movement effect of the soil physical properties. Infiltration capacity and soil bulk density differences were investigated in grazed area and off-road vehicle track at Paya (Kaghan) subalpine rangelands in June 1994. Ten samples for each of infiltration and soil bulk density were randomly studied on off-road track and grazed area. The infiltration capacity (mm/hr) was significantly higher on grazed area than on off-road track while the average soil bulk density (gms/cm3) was higher on off-road track as compared with grazed area.
