Evaluation of soil quality index to assess the influence of soil degradation and desertification process in sub-arid terrestrial ecosystem
(Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2019)
Desertification is the process of land degradation resulting from the mutual interactions of physical, biological, political, social, economic and cultural factors with climatic changes. Desertification is considered to ...
Mapping Soil Water Retention on Agricultural Lands in Central and Eastern Parts of the Black Sea Region in Turkey
(Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2016)
Central and eastern parts of the Black Sea Region in Turkey are pivotal in production of hazelnut and tea. The soils are vulnerable to leaching of nutrients and water erosion, and the need of mapping and assessment of ...
Effects of toposequence and land use-land cover on the spatial distribution of soil properties
(Springer, 2016)
Topographic properties can influence pedogenic processes, soil profile depth and spatial variations of soil properties. The objectives of this study were to determine the spatial variation of soil properties at different ...
Geostatistical approach as a tool for estimation of field capacity and permanent wilting point in semi-arid terrestrial ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)
The understanding of spatial and seasonal variability in soil water retention properties is critical for careful management of soil water in agricultural production in semi-arid regions. The main objectives of this study ...
Determination of soil erosion risk using RUSLE model and soil organic carbon loss in Alaca catchment (Central Black Sea region, Turkey)
(Springer-Verlag Italia Srl, 2017)
Soil erosion is one of the major threats to the conservation of soil and water resources. For that reason, predictive erosion models are useful tools for evaluating soil erosion and developing soil erosion management plans. ...
The land productivity dynamics trend as a tool for land degradation assessment in a dryland ecosystem
(Springer, 2017)
The aim of this study was to produce a land productivity dynamic map of a degraded catchment located in dryland ecosystem via a land degradation assessment using three indicators, namely land use, land productivity, and ...
Mapping and assessment-based modeling of soil fertility differences in the central and eastern parts of the Black Sea region using GIS and geostatistical approaches
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017)
This study was carried out on arable lands of the central and eastern Black Sea regions including eight provinces (Artvin, Giresun, Gumushane, Ordu, Rize, Samsun, Sinop, and Trabzon). The present study aims to generate a ...
Chemical Weathering Rates and Geochemical-Mineralogical Characteristics of Soils Developed on Heterogeneous Parent Material and Toposequence
(North Univ Baia Mare, 2016)
Mineral weathering is an environmentally significant process and stage in the formation of soils. In addition, soil formations are highly associated with topographic positions that have influence on the morphological, ...
Experimental Design Approach To Land Productivity Assessment: A Case Study in Sinop, Turkey
(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2017)
The evaluation and mapping of spatial variations of land productivity are important for an effective and sustainable management of land and soil resources. However, to evaluate complex phenomena such as land productivity, ...
Erosion Risk Prediction Using Multi-Criteria Assessment in Ankara Guvenc Basin
(Ankara Univ, Fac Agr, 2017)
The aim of this study is to determine erosion risk classes and to generate their map in Ankara Guvenc Basin using geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and statistical approaches with method of multi-criteria ...
