Accumulation of soil carbon (C) in ecosystems could help mitigate climate change, particularly in agricultural landscapes, but accumulation rates are thought to depend on land cover and management practices. To uncover relationships between soil properties and vegetation management strategies in the Midwestern USA, we examined soil C and nitrogen (N) content on lands under five management types...

has always been a challenge in soil mapping (Hole and Campbell, 1985; Hudson, 1992; McKenzie et al., 2000). Some problems in traditional soil mapping—high cost, high subjecTo date defining the soil–environment relationship for tivity, poor documentation, and low accuracy and precision—have motivated the development of a knowledge-based fuzzy soil mapping soil mapping purpose is still largely a ...

Forestry institutions are currently gradually introducing GIS technologies. With the use of technology and digital data processing, Kazakh Enterprise is doing a lot work to collect on First Forest Fund, accounting districts, etc., transfer collected institutions, commissioning.At same time, electronic media replacing old paper tablets. Geographic information systems (GIS) key element effective ...

Hydro-ecological modelers often use spatial variation of soil information derived from conventional soil surveys in simulation of hydro-ecological processes over watersheds at mesoscale (10–100 km). Conventional soil surveys are not designed to provide the same level of spatial detail as terrain and vegetation inputs derived from digital terrain analysis and remote sensing techniques. Soil prop...

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...
