Abstract A chronosequence approach was applied to evaluate the effects of silver birch succession on soil organic matter (SOM). The studies covered five plots (arable field [AF], fallow [FA] and three stands aged 8, 33 40 years), all located in same complex Brunic Arenosols central Poland. O horizons soils were sampled analysed using standard procedures science. It found that accompanied by dyn...

Abstract. Few studies have focused on Arenosols with regard to soil carbon dynamics despite the fact that they represent 7 % of world's soils and are present in key areas where food security is a major issue (e.g., Sahelian regions). As for other types, land use changes (from forest or grassland cropland) lead loss substantial organic (SOC) stocks lasting impact SOC turnover. Here we quantified...

Semi-detail soil survey and land suitability evaluation for sugarcane production was carried out in Zagga, Bagudo LGA of Kebbi State Nigeria at scale 1:25,000 on 8,000 ha land. The objectives were to describe the morphological chemical properties soils. entire study area classified five units named as ZG1, ZG2, ZG3, ZG4, ZG5. Surface samples examined collected from 0-15cm, 15-30cm depth using a...

Pedological maps in suitable scales are scarce most countries due to the high costs involved soil surveying. Therefore, methods for surveying and mapping must be developed overpass cartographic material obtention. In this sense, work aims at assessing a digital map (DSM) built by multispectral data extrapolation from source area target using ASTER time series modeling technique. For that proces...
