abstract surface soil shear strength is an effective parameter in soil erosion and runoff modeling, and known as soil erodibility index. this study was conducted to investigate and predict soil shear strength in central zagros region using multiple linear regressions (mlr). the study site was selected in rangeland and degraded-rangeland landuse with an area of 23562 ha. based on the maps of geo...

The Landuse / Landcover system espoused by almost all Organisations and scientists, engineers and remote sensing community who are involved in mapping of earth surface features, is a system which is derived from the united States Geological Survey (USGS) LULC classification system. The application of RS and GIS involves determining of homogeneous zones, trend analysis of land use integration of...
