introduction soil losses and erosion is one of the main causes of fertility decreasing, sedimentation in river cannels and irrigation canals, decreasing of storage capacity in dams, increasing of floods frequency, environmental pollution and it prevents from stable development. more than 70% of iran land is covered with arid and semi-arid areas. soil erosion as one of the main causes of soil de...

soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in vazroud watershed, which is located in the centre of the mazandaran province, iran. unfortunately, vazroud watershed like most iran watersheds don’t have recorded data and erosion and sedimentation gages to research, monitor and model soil erosion at large watershed. in order to assess the soil erosion risk, soil erosion modeling at the watersh...

The mechanical impedance of soils inhibits the growth of plant roots, often being the most significant physical limitation to root system development. Non-invasive imaging techniques have recently been used to investigate the development of root system architecture over time, but the relationship with soil deformation is usually neglected. Correlative mapping approaches parameterised using 2D a...

With the help of GPS and measuring instrument of soil moisture, soil moisture was measured and analyzed. As using Geo-statistics to the study of spatial variability of soil moisture and use ArcGIS 9.0, get the spatial distribution map of soil water property with Kriging interpolation. The research result showed that all soil spatial characters are normal distribution and the spatial distributio...
