Comparative Study among Different Semi-Empirical Models for Soil Salinity Prediction in an Arid Environment Using OLI Landsat-8 Data
Salt-affected soils, caused by natural or human activities, are a common environmental hazard in semi-arid and arid landscapes. Excess salts in soils affect plant growth and production, soil and water quality and, therefore, increase soil erosion and land degradation. This research investigates the performance of five different semi-empirical predictive models for soil salinity spatial distribu...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Possibility of Forest Type Mapping in Arid and Semi-arid Regions Using Landsat Etm+ Data
Landsat ETM+ data from the National Park of Khabr in Kerman province, dating May 2000, were analyzed to investigate the possibility of forest type mapping in arid and semi-arid regions.Quality evaluation of the image showed any radiometric distortion. Orthorectification was implemented to reduce relief displacement. The RMS error obtained was less than half a pixel. The ground truth map allocat...
متن کاملSoil Clay Content Mapping Using a Time Series of Landsat TM Data in Semi-Arid Lands
Clay content (fraction < 2 μm) is one of the most important soil properties. It controls soil hydraulic properties like wilting point, field capacity and saturated hydraulic conductivity, which in turn control the various fluxes of water in the unsaturated zone. In our study site, the Kairouan plain in central Tunisia, existing soil maps are neither exhaustive nor sufficiently precise for water...
متن کاملLong Lead Flood Simulation Using Downscaled GCM Data in Arid and Semi-arid Regions: A Case Study
Flood is one of the most calamitous natural disasters that causes extensive property and life damages across theworld. It however, could be a blessing due to its special natural water resources recharging value. By simulating themagnitude of probable floods considering the anthropogenic and natural effects and implementing contingency plans,their damages could be reduced. In this paper, the Gen...
متن کاملFloodplain mapping using HEC-RAS and GIS in semi-arid regions of Iran
Abstract A significant deficiency of most computer models used for stream floodplain analysis is that the locations of structures impacted by floodwaters, such as bridges, roads, and buildings, cannot be effectively compared to the floodplain location. This research presents a straightforward approach for processing output of the HEC-RAS hydraulic model, to enable two- and three dimensional f...
