Accuracy in assessing the distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important issue because of playing key roles in the functions of both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems. There are several studies in the literature with the aim of finding the best method to assess and map the distribution of SOC content for Europe. Therefore this study aims searching for another aspect of this...

in order to assess the satellite data for soil investigation, aster digital data 20 june 2006, field study and phisiochemical properties of soil, were analyzed. all landcover classes including soils are classified based onmorphological and physico-chemical characteristics. images were geocorrected and photomorphic units were selected based upon visual interpretation and sampling in study area. ...

the effects of different climatic, soil, geometric, and management factors on soil organic carbon (soc) degradation and sequestration potential was evaluated in the semi-arid zone of mereg watershed, west of iran. two nonparametric methods, viz. classification and regression tree (cart) and feed forward back propagation artificial neural network (ann) were compared with parametric multivariate ...

To guide soil fertility investment programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, better understanding is needed of the relative importance of soil and crop management factors in determining smallholder crop yields and yield variability. Spatial variability in crop yields within farms is strongly influenced by variation in both current crop management (e.g. planting dates, fertilizer rates) and soil fertili...
