As an important area of reserve land resources, the Yellow River Delta is faced with the problem of soil salinization. Grasping the characteristics of soil salinity as well as its spatial variation patterns is an important foundation of prevention, control and utilization of saline soil. This study selected Kenli County of the Yellow River Delta, obtained soil salinity data through field survey...

for optimum planning, utilization, and management of lands, recognition of spatial variability of soil properties is necessary. this research was conducted to evaluate spatial variability of soil properties in 5000 ha of arsenjan plain in fars province. for this purpose, soil salinity, ph, particle size percentage, sodium, potassium, and organic carbon (oc) were measured on a systematic squared...

In recent years, salinization of soil is one the challenging environmental concerns occurring all over world. The effects concentration salt can be detected in both natural (primary) as well man-made (secondary) environment. This due to massive urbanization and industrialization coastal regions, Soil salinity may lead degradative changes composition water resources, loss fertile soil, biodivers...

Timely information of soil water content is urgently required for monitoring ecosystem processes and functions at various scales. Although remote sensing has already provided many practical applications of retrieving soil moisture, it is largely limited to visible/near infrared or microwave domains and few studies have ever been conducted on the thermal infrared. In addition, soil salinization ...

Soil salinity refers to the state of accumulation of soluble salts in the root zone to adversely affect the growth of most crops. It is a severe environmental degradation that impedes crop growth and production [1]. The conventional processes for the detection, monitoring and mapping of salt-affected soil are known to be difficult and dynamic.(206khan). Remote Sensing has the ability to predict...

In 2010 and 2011, pot experiments were conducted at Niono Agronomic Research station to determine soil alkalinity/salinity effects on seed germination and seedling growth of vegetable crops. Three types of soil types with physical sign of salt effects were used for these experiments: salt affected black soil, salt affected white soil and soil presenting no physical sign of salinization. The tes...
