Soils are at the crossroads of many existential issues that humanity is currently facing. a finite resource under threat, mainly due to human pressure. There an urgent need map and monitor them field, regional, global scales in order improve their management prevent degradation. This remains challenge high often complex spatial variability inherent soils. Over last four decades, major research ...

Soils are essential for supporting food production and providing ecosystem services but under pressure due to population growth, higher demand, land use competition. Because of the effort ensure sustainable soil resources, demand current, updatable information capable decisions across scales is increasing. Digital mapping (DSM) addresses drawbacks conventional has been increasingly used deliver...

A new method of digital mapping the soil cover pattern with calculation share soils different taxa and degree classes for erosion in associations is proposed. comparative analysis maps obtained using methods construction (visual expert digital) their contents (displaying dominant or associations) has been performed. In case by visual (with display soil), a significant underestimation total area...

abstract mine excavation, concentration and transportation of minerals make southern esfahan municipality and suburb of sepahanshahr vulnerable to pollution and endanger their people by heavy metals. nowadays, spectrophotometers and spectral reflectance of soils in different parts of spectrum are applied for estimating soil characteristics and pollutants. this research was conducted to study th...

Soil scientists can aid in an essential part of ecological conservation and rehabilitation by quantifying soil properties, such as organic carbon (SOC), is stock (SOCs) SOC crucial for providing ecosystem services, and, through effective C-sequestration, the effects climate change be mitigated. In remote mountainous areas with complex terrain, northern Maloti-Drakensberg South Africa Lesotho, d...

ABSTRACT There is an ever-growing need for soil maps, since detailed information directly related to agricultural activities, urbanization and environmental protection. However, there a lack of large-scale maps in developing tropical countries such as Brazil. Albeit are small areas, large regions usually have undetailed maps. Considering the importance finding low-cost alternatives overcome inf...
