Beypazarı topraklarının MEDALUS metoduna göre toprak kalite indekslerinin belirlenmesi

Akdeniz Çölleşme ve Arazi Kullanımı (MEDALUS) projesi, Avrupa Komisyonunun Çevre Programı içersinde küresel ve bölgesel iklim değişiklikleri sonucunda gerçekleştirdiği en büyük projelerden birisidir. Bu çalışmada MEDALUS Toprak Kalite Index parametreleri coğrafi bilgi sistemleri kullanılarak Beypazarı topraklarına uygulanmış ve çalışma alanının toprak kalite indeksleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışma alanı topraklarının toprak kalite indeks değerlerinin dağılımı sırasıyla %54.6'sı yüksek %3l.9'u orta ve %13.5'i düşük olarak bulunmuştur. Typic Haploxerepts, Typic Xerorhents, Typic Xerofluvents ve Fluventic Haploxerepts'ler de yüksek, Typic Calcixerepts ve Gypsic Haploxerepts'ler de orta ve Lithic Xerorhents'ler de düşük toprak kalite indeksleri gözlemlenmiştir.

Determination of the soil quality indeces of the Beypazarı soils according to the MEDALUS methdology

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 Comission established in the environment program. In this study, MEDALUS Soil Quality Index parameters were applied to the Beypazarı soils using geographic information systems and soil quality indices of the study areas soils were determined. Distribution of the soil quality index vales of the study area soils were determined as 54.6% high, 31.9% medium and 13.5% low respectively. It is observed that Typic Haploxerepts, Typic Xerorhents, Typic Xerofluvents and Fluventic Haploxerepts have high, Typic Calcixerepts and Gypsic Haploxerepts have medium and Lithic Xerorhents have low soil quality index values.
