Researchers of CSIRO Land and Water in Griffith in Australia have found a way to repeatedly reuse drainage water to grow crops. In the process the system will concentrate the salt in the water to a manageable level which can then be used or stored in an environmentally friendly manner. The process, known as sequential biological concentration, is based on a novel system for Land, based treatmen...

Problem statement: Evaluating land suitability and selecting crops in modern agriculture is of critical importance to every organization. This is because the narrower area of land, the more effectiveness in planting is required in accordance with the desires of the land. Process of evaluating land suitability class and selecting plants in accordance with decision marker’s requirements is comple...

soil and water assessment tool model, swat, uses different layers of watershed data which out of soil layer is the important one. soil layer data should be extracted from detailed soil maps. in most developing countries including iran, these detailed maps are not available except for irrigation districts and rarely for dry land farming areas and also for some strategic places of development pur...

in the course of the present study, the results of parametric approach are compared with those obtained through fuzzy approach using ahp as well as multivariate regression methods for comparisons and investigating the efficiency of the fuzzy method as applied in land suitability assessments. the correlation coefficients between land index and observed yield in the study area through fuzzy appro...

The objective of this article is to apply fuzzy set and interpolation techniques for land suitability evaluation for maize in Northern Ghana. Land suitability indices were computed at point observations using the Semantic Import (SI) model, whereas spatial interpolation was carried out by block kriging. Interpolated land suitability shows a high correlation (R2 = 0.87) with observed maize yield...

Biological invasions and land-use changes are two major causes of the global modifications of biodiversity. Habitat suitability models are the tools of choice to predict potential distributions of invasive species. Although land-use is a key driver of alien species invasions, it is often assumed that land-use is constant in time. Here we combine historical and present day information, to evalua...

Based on the construction strategy of PSE with Web service, the framework of land suitability assessment PSE is created, and a prototype of land suitability assessment information system is designed and developed partially. The land suitability of Huangpi district Wuhan city is taken as a case to test the prototype system, and the result shows that the method is valid and efficient.

The problem of evaluation of agricultural land suitability is consid­ ered as a fuzzy modeling task. For assessment of land suitability, it is proposed to use fuzzy indicators. Application of individual fuzzy indicators gives oppor­ tunity for assessment of suitability of lands as degree or grade of performance when the lands are used for agricultural purposes. Using composite fuzzy indi­ cator...

around 80% of the population relies on agriculture, rice being the staple food. topography urges farmers to cultivate upland rice. the chinese interest in rubber latex has stimulated farmers to grow rubber, although the technical knowledge regarding tree management and latex processing is poor. a study was conducted in an area in luang prabang province to examine the suitability of upland rice ...

In recent years, methods of fuzzy reasoning have been successfully developed for land evaluation. The accuracy of such land evaluation depends on the quality of weighing land characteristics with respect to their effects on crop production. This paper presents a spatially-based model of land suitability analysis. The main purposes were to (1) establish land suitability indices for irrigated whe...
