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 ...
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 ...
Capability of different interpolation models and pedotransfer functions to estimate soil hydraulic properties in Buyukcay Watershed
(Springer, 2015)
Many catchment basins have insufficient data to make conservation planning for sustainable natural resources use. In addition, intensive soil sampling is neither feasible nor economical in a large studied area. Therefore, ...
Weathering Rates and Some Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Soils Developed on A Calcic Toposequences
(North Univ Baia Mare, 2013)
Soil formations were highly associated with topographic positions which have influence on morphological, mineralogical and weathering process of the soils. Because, topography or relief affects how water and other material ...
Sustainable natural resource management and environmental assessment in the Salt Lake (Tuz Golu) Specially Protected Area
(Springer, 2010)
The Salt Lake Specially Protected Area is a unique ecosystem for both agricultural activities and natural life in Turkey. In the present study, an attempt was made to develop a conceptual land use strategy and methodology, ...
Comparison of traditional and geostatistical methods to estimate soil erodibility factor
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2008)
Soil erosion is a major environmental problem that threatens the sustainability and productivity of agricultural areas. Assessment and mapping of soil erosion are extremely important in the management and conservation of ...
Soil erosion assessment using geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) study from Ankara-Guvenc Basin, Turkey
(Triveni Enterprises, 2009)
The objective of this research was to assess vulnerable soil erosion risk with qualitative approach using GIS in Ankara-Guvenc Basin. The study area is located about 44 km north of Ankara and covers 17.5 km(2). The selected ...
Land quality assessment and sustainable land use in Salt Lake (Tuz Golu) specially protected area
(Springer, 2009)
Land quality assessment is of great important for decisions on sustainable land uses and the conservation of ecosystems of high biodiversity value. The main objective of this study was to determine properties of land quality ...
