Determination of Soil Quality Index of Bala Statefarm Soils According to The Medalus Methodology
Açýklama:
As a result of global and regional climate changes, MEditerranean
Desertification And Land USe (MEDALUS) project is one of the largest project of the European Commission established in the environment program.
In this study, MEDALUS soil quality index parameters were applied to the Bala Statefarm soils using geographic information systems and soil quality index of study areas soils were determined. Distribution of the soil quality index values of the study area soils was determined as 91.8 % high, 8.18 % medium and 0.01 % low respectively. It was observed that 99.7% of Ustocreptic Calciorthid that has the largest soil (27.4 %) in study area has
high soil quality index value. In addition that, all of the Calci Gypsiorthid that has the smallest soil (1.9 %) in study area, has moderate soil quality index values.
