The aim of the study was to analyse moisture content (θ) and persistence strength water repellency (SWR) on sandy soil excluded from cultivation then undergoing spontaneous afforestation or weed infestation during an abnormally warm period. Three site plots in close proximity were selected, i.e., Scots pine forest—S1 (Dicrano-Pinion), birch forest—S3 (Molinio-Frangulion) 25 years old, abandoned...

The government of Nepal has been implementing policies to increase agriculture production by motivating farmers towards farming. This study aims identify spatially distributed suitable areas for sustainable Arabica coffee in the Gulmi, Palpa, Arghakhanchi, and Pyuthan districts Lumbini Province. multi-criteria analysis was carried out area cultivation area, where parameter values were assigned ...

Cropland abandonment is globally widespread and has strong repercussions for regional food security and the environment. Statistics suggest that one of the hotspots of abandoned cropland is located in the drylands of the Aral Sea Basin (ASB), which covers parts of post-Soviet Central Asia, Afghanistan and Iran. To date, the exact spatial and temporal extents of abandoned cropland remain unclear...

to evaluate land suitability of aq-qalla region for rainfed chickpea cropping, boolean logic and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) methods were used in geographic information system (gis). to achieve this, firstly, climatic and agronomical requirements of chickpea,were identified according to scientific resources. then, thematic requirement maps were provided. the studied environmental-compone...

Determining the feasibility of a large-scale afforestation program is one approach being investigated by the Government of Canada to increase Canada's potential to sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Large-scale afforestation, however, requires knowledge of where it is suitable to establish and grow trees. Spatial models based on Boolean logic and/or statistical models within a geographic inf...

Porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus L.) stands as a prominent agricultural product in Indonesia. As the demand for porang continues to grow, it becomes crucial balance with expansion of suitable land cultivation. The selection appropriate crop planting requires thorough analysis feasibility, commonly known suitability assessment. This study aims evaluate identify limiting factors, and explore po...

The increasing use and capability of geocomputation tools, as well as increasing availability of land resource information, offer opportunities to utilise such tools for the effective management of information for planning purposes. One among those is the development of spatially-based models that may be used for efficiently undertaking land suitability assessment based on available information...

Land suitability analysis is employed to evaluate the appropriateness of land for a particular purpose whilst integrating both qualitative and quantitative inputs, which can be continuous in nature. However, in agricultural modelling there is often a disregard of this contiguous aspect. Therefore, some parametric procedures for suitability analysis compartmentalise units into defined membership...
