| Abstract | ||
| Visual Interpretation of Landsat-2- MSS and spectral reflectance curves, with digital unsupervised classification techniques were used to study the gypsiferous soils, other soils and soil conditions at Salahaddin governorate with an area about 2500 km2 situated between 34º 35¯ – 34º 25¯ N and 44º 10¯ - 43º 45¯ E. Thematic mapper (TM) data from Landsat-6 were analyzed by computer assisted of unsupervised classification. The results indicated that application of remote sensing technology to delineation of soil types and conditions was feasible quick timely and accurate. The results of digital classification indicate the presence of the following land covers: Water bodies, soils, vegetations, sand dune and salts accumulation. The results of reflectance showed the relation between land quality and soil properties of the surface horizons and reflectance data. This study showed a high capability of using remote sensing (digital analysis) in soil survey to identify gypsiferous soil and delineation with reduces time and cost. | ||
