Abstract
Capparis spinosa L. species is one of the important fodder-medicinal species in the pasture ecosystems of the north of West Azerbaijan, which is distributed in a wide area of the habitats of Mako, Shot and Peldasht regions. The purpose of this research is to determine the most important soil factors affecting the active ingredients of Capparis spinosa L. For this purpose, first, five main blind habitats were identified in the northern biomes of West Azarbaijan province, and then sampling was done in representative points of each habitat. Vegetation sampling was done by systematic random method in 40 plots of two by two meters (four square meters) which were 20 meters apart along four 200 meter transects. In order to collect soil data, the length of each transect was divided into three parts (initial, middle and end), and from each part, a soil sample was taken with three repetitions from the surface horizon (usually 0-30 cm). Electrical conductivity variables, acidity, lime percentage, organic carbon percentage, clay percentage, silt percentage, sand percentage, apparent specific gravity, organic matter and mineral elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and calcium carbonate) were measured in the laboratory. After drying in the shade, the plant samples were transferred to the laboratory to measure the phenol content, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of methanolic extracts were measured using spectrophotometric method and antioxidant activity was measured using free radical scavenging method. The results showed that the studied habitats have significant differences in terms of total phenol content, flavonoid content and antioxidant activity. According to the results, the most important soil factor affecting the content of total phenol, flavonoid and antioxidant performance of Kor species are acidity (0.8847), calcium (-0.7361), calcium carbonate (0.6052), clay percentage (0.5185) respectively. and the percentage of sand is (0.6441). Therefore, according to the adaptability of the Capparis spinosa L. species to such habitat conditions and considering its relatively favorable density and the relatively large amount of fruit production in these habitats, it is suggested that in order to preserve, restore and develop the Kur species in the fields of pasture and cultivation And its domestication in agricultural fields, the production of foundations with maximum production capacity showed flexibility in the multi-purpose use of pastures, increasing the income of pastures users and increasing the gross production of natural fields.
