Determination of the Land Suitability of Sugarcane Fields Based on Soil Quality Index Using a Geographic Information System

Determination of land suitability is one of the land evaluation methods that can determine the best use of land in each area. The purpose of this research was to determine the land suitability of Mirza Kuchak Khan's cultivation and industry fields based on the soil quality indicators and a geographic information system (GIS), and compare the results with those obtained by methods of land evalua...

Land Suitability Classification for Persian Walnut Cultivation in Iran Using Geographic Information System (GIS)

The efficient use of water resources, soil, and climate parameters as the main pillars of plant sustainable production requires land suitability evaluation for each crop and area. This research was conducted to evaluate land suitability for walnut cultivation in Iran using geographic information system (GIS). For this purpose, the climate data obtained from 375 synoptic stations of Iran, the ge...

A System for Heterotrophic Soil Respiration Assessment of Russian Land

Soil respiration (SR) is one of the most important and least understood components of the global carbon cycle. Recent global estimates suggest that soil emits about 98 Pg C per year, which exceeds emission rates from fossil fuel combustion by an order of magnitude [3, 6]. While indicating that soils are the predominant source of CO2 from terrestrial ecosystems, such estimates are still highly u...

Enhancement of Late Successional Plants on Ex-Arable Land by Soil Inoculations

Restoration of species-rich grasslands on ex-arable land can help the conservation of biodiversity but faces three big challenges: absence of target plant propagules, high residual soil fertility and restoration of soil communities. Seed additions and top soil removal can solve some of these constraints, but restoring beneficial biotic soil conditions remains a challenge. Here we test the hypot...
