soil organic matter has positive consequences eht rof quality and productivityof soil and also environment, agricultural and biological sustainability and conservation ofbiodiversity and soil. organic matter plays an important role in the physical and chemicalprocesses of soil and thus, it is of a great effect on the spectral characteristics of soil. thisstudy was done in order to develop the m...

The Pearl River Delta in the People’s Republic of China is experiencing rapid rates of economic growth. Government directives in the late 1970s and early 1980s spurred economic development that has led to widespread land conversion. In this study, we monitor land-use through a nested hierarchy of land-cover. Change vectors of Tasseled Cap brightness, greenness and wetness of Landsat Thematic Ma...

changes in land use can significantly influence the hydrological cycle and hence affect water resources. understanding the impacts of land use changes on hydrology response at the watershed scale can facilitate development of sustainable water resources strategies. this paper investigates the hydrological effects of land use change in the zanjanroodbasinofiran, during last 40 years. the study r...

human activities induced changes in land cover/use have extensive impacts on the landscape. in recent years, these changes had an increasingly growth due to irrational use of the natural resources in iran. hence, considering the negative effects of the inappropriate use of land and land-use change, understanding of the landscape changes over time is necessary to planning and implementation of s...

land use change is one of the main factors in the process of changing the regime of flood in watersheds. taleghan watershed has been subjected to many land use changes over years, which probably effects on flood characteristics of taleghan river. in present study the effects of land use change on some parameters including peak flow, volume and flood base time, in part of taleghan basin, was inv...

      There are various methods and models for land evaluation. These methods are classified according to the number of used resources. The best resources capabilities or potentials and land use can be found by analyzing one of the main resources, in the lands close relations to ecologic resources exist. Soil has a great potential for introducing the studied region specifications. Hence, it cha...

tehran the capital city of iran, with a population of about 8 million and an area of over 700 km2 is one of the most polluted metropolises in the world. tehran is suffering from a tremendous reduction in its sink capacity for absorption and assimilation of pollution which is generally due to uncontrolled urban sprawl and failure in consideration of ecological aspects into regional land use plan...

The objective of this work is the realization of a map spatialising proposals of management and planning of lands, with a view to their rational management within the framework of a sustainable development. It was based on a diagnosis of the natural environment that allowed the analysis and identification of constraints to the development of the watershed of Ouergha (North of MOROCCO). The meth...
