Estimating soil degradation in the Wadi Al Arab; basin using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques
Abstract | الملخص
Soil degradation is the most environmental problems in the world due the negative impact to the economic and biomass of the vegetation cover. The aims of this study is applying the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model, to determine the soil erosion area by GIS application and remote sensing image in wadi alarab basin, and overlapping agri_land use and soil types maps, to determine the soil degradation types in the study area, and producing land degradation maps, by remote sensing data (Landsat8), and digital elevations model (DEM) The resulted show the area of soil erosion, whether, the medium or dangerous, and overlap with the field survey data of the soil types and the agric-landuse in the study area as the entrance to planning the soil maintenance and sustainability.
