Abstract
The current investigation aims to study the morphological,physical and chemical characteristics for some soils of the
interference zone between alluvial and desertic lands located in the
western side of Rosetta branch. Classification and quantitative land
evaluation for these soils are also carried out. Moreover, the
suitability of these soils for growing certain crops was achieved.
This work presented important information about the potentiality of
land resources for proper sustainable agriculture of these soils.
For this purpose, geomorphologic map was produced using
remote sensing (RS) and GIS technology. Fourteen soil profiles were
selected in addition to six surface soil samples were collected
representing the five geomorphologic units in this area. These units
are moderately depression (MD), high depression (HD), low
pediplain (LP), moderately pediplain (MP) and high pediplain (HP).
The land and site features are observed and registered. Soil
profiles were dug deep down to 130 cm or to the water table level.
Profiles were morphologically described, and then soil samples were
taken representing the different soil horizons or layers for integrated
physical and chemical analyses. The important morphological
properties were used for evaluating pedological development of the
profiles.
