Monitoring Some Land Degradation Parameters in Soils of Bala Agricultural Enterprise
Açýklama:
Due to mismanagement of the land, some of the main degradation type in Turkey are erosion by water or wind, soil salinization and alkalisation, soil structure destruction and compaction, biological degradation and soil pollution. Due to climatic and topographic condition soil erosion is the biggest problem in Turkey and approximately 86 % of land is suffering from some degree of erosion. There is no sufficient information on land degradation based on field studies and monitoring in Turkey. So, to understand status of degradation in Bala this study was handled.
In order to have some updated parameters of degradation, soil samples were collected from the reference soil profiles in Bala on the horizonation basis and analysed for comparison, assessment and interpretation. It is assumed that a basement to be established in such a way will lead to periodical checking and a database for the monitoring of degradation process.
