WEB CARTOGRAPHY OF SOIL QUALITY IN LVIV REGION

The Effect of Different Land Uses on New Indices of Soil Quality in Central Alborz Region

Different land uses have various effects on the changes of soil properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of natural forest, needle-leaved plantation and rangelands of central Alborz on new indices of soil quality (i.e. organic matter stratification, carbon management index and soil biological activities). For this purpose, eight samples from organic layer (litter) and m...

Pollution intensity of nickel in agricultural soil of Hamedan region

In the recent years, agricultural soils have received more chemicals in various forms for higher yields. This may result in the accumulation of metals in soils which subsequently may be transferred into the agricultural crops. In the present investigation, nickel content of 58 composite soil samples and also agricultural crops, is studied. Ni in samples of soil and agricultural products were ex...

GeoVRML: Open Web-based 3D Cartography

Cartography, GIS and the World Wide Web

For this, my initial cartography and GIS report, I have selected a theme external to, but with implications for, both – the World Wide Web (WWW, or simply “the web”). According to its primary architect, the WWW “was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project” (Berners-Lee, et al., 1994, p. 7...

Digital Chart Cartography: Error and Quality Control

This paper puts forward a novel concept of tetrahedron model of chart cartography error analysis and quality control which is necessary for introducing user to the former triangle model of error analysis and quality control, i.e. Reality-Producer-Chart-User. For the human being, high quality does not necessarily represent high accuracy, but represent a concept that what is fit for use. Classica...
