Ancient Greek agricultural soils of the Venella River Valley, Metaponto, Italy : An exploratory analysis

Creator:: Carpenter, Burl L.
Abstract:: Approximately 2700 years ago, Greek settlers from the Northwestern Peloponnese region of Achaea emigrated to the central coast of Southern Italy along the Gulf of Taranto. The city they founded, Metapontum, served as an important center for Magna Graecia, the lands on the Southern Italic peninsula wholly populated by Hellenic...

Predictive mapping of landtype association maps in three Oregon national forests

Creator:: Peterman, Wendy L.
Abstract:: This study explores the use of predictive mapping techniques in developing Landtype Association (LTA) maps for use in natural resource management. These maps are produced for the USDA Forest Service on a regional basis at a 1:100,000 scale. The goal of this study is to develop and test a method...

Quaternary marine terraces on Cyprus : constraints on uplift and pedogenesis, and the geoarchaeology of Palaipafos

Creator:: Zomeni, Zomenia
Abstract:: Numerous flights of Quaternary marine terraces are present around the island of Cyprus, in the Eastern Mediterranean. These terraces are a result of the global eustatic sea-level curve and local tectonism. Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 through MIS 13 terraces are identified, mapped and dated. Palaeoshoreline elevation, an excellent indicator...

Predicting the spatial variability in soil properties using DSM across Malheur National Forest

Creator:: Seeno, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Soil properties may hold the key to improved predictions of soils during digital soil mapping (DSM), which has developed with a focus on environmental factors external to soil. The spatial variability in soil properties was modeled across Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon as an approach to improve DSM. The...

Paleoclimatic changes revealed by soil carbonate, and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes, Eastern Korinthia, Greece

Creator:: Bruno, Caroline R.
Abstract:: Soil carbonate is used to interpret paleoenvironmental conditions in the Eastern Korinthia, Greece, with the use of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes. The Eastern Korinthia consists of a series of marine terraces ranging in age from ~600 to 70.2 ka. The lateral stratigraphic context of the marine terraces allows the...

Towards a national map of soil liquefaction susceptibility : modeling with heuristic and geotechnical methods

Creator:: Lindsley, Adam E.
Abstract:: This study investigates the use of predictive mapping techniques as well as geotechnical criteria in developing a multiregional soil liquefaction model and subsequent maps. The maps were produced using National Cooperative Soil Survey data, in the gSSURGO format, combined with soil liquefaction data gathered from studies, articles, and traditional seismic...

Artificial means of distinguishing smooth-line map unit boundaries : an examination of Oregon soil survey maps

Creator:: Sun, Yulin
Abstract:: Soil is a complex living system with high heterogeneity, which makes locating soil map boundaries a challenge. In traditional soil survey, the placement of soil map boundaries relies largely (at least initially) on identifying the soil-forming factors of biota and topographic relief through stereo aerial photo pairs. Future soil survey...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

Use of decision tree analysis for predictive soils mapping and implementation on the Malheur County, Oregon initial soil survey

Creator:: Hash, Sarah Jane
Abstract:: Soil surveys provide essential information for making land use and management decisions on publicly-owned lands in the semi-arid Great Basin. Soil maps produced with conventional mapping techniques are time-consuming, costly, and do not explicitly document the soil scientist's mental soil-landscape model. Predictive soils mapping using decision tree analysis (DTA) can...

Predictive mapping for the delineation of landtype association units in the Fremont National Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Malone, Melanie R.
Abstract:: Predictive Soil Mapping (PSM) has recently become an attractive method for soil scientists wishing to develop a more objective and efficient approach to mapping soils. Due to the potential PSM has for reducing the effort to produce soil maps, as well as its ability to improve the classification accuracy of...
