The Stability

Using the Northeast region for the study area as it has a typical different land use types, through the soil sampling and analysis, research and compare different land use distribution of soil aggregates. The results showed that among different land use patterns, the surface (0 ~ 20 cm) has the maximum of water stable aggregates <0.25mm (up to 52.262%). Whether it is farmland or plantations, subsurface soil aggregates are higher than the surface aggregates content, but showing natural secondary forest soil structure has the stability characteristics that natural secondary forest water-stable aggregate content has no significant effect; soil aggregates average body weight diameter and geometric mean diameter, the surface fields are the lowest, the use of forest land into farmland, the mean weight diameter and geometric mean diameter, has declined. In general, the surface 0 ~ 20 cm is higher than the subsurface 20 ~ 40 cm.

Grey Relational

This paper investigates the relations between soil organic carbon (SOC) and other physicochemical indices in low hills of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, and thus to help with soil modification in low hills there. Grey relational analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used to uncover the relations of SOC with total N (TN), pH, available P (AP), available K (AK), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) under eight land use patterns in a typical small watershed in Chifeng. The eight land uses were Prunus sibirica land, Caragana microphylla land, Populus simonii land, Ulmus pumila land, natural grassland, Pinus Tableulaeformis [Formula: see text] P. sibirica mixed land, secondary forest of natural bush land, and agricultural land. The average SOC contents in the 0–100[Formula: see text]cm layer in the above eight land use patterns are 7.72, 5.32, 7.40, 6.11, 3.14, 10.26, 17.51 and 5.34[Formula: see text]g/kg, respectively, indicating significant differences. The relation coefficients of SOC with TN, pH, MBC, AK, and AP are 0.70, 0.66, 0.63, 0.57 and 0.55, respectively, under all land use patterns. SOC contents are significantly different among these land use patterns, and the relation coefficients of SOC with other physicochemical indices rank in the order as: [Formula: see text]. The optimum regression equation of SOC ([Formula: see text] with TN ([Formula: see text] and pH ([Formula: see text] was built: [Formula: see text], ([Formula: see text]).

ABSTRACT Aggregate formation and stability are related to soil quality, contributing significantly to the carbon storage and nutrient maintenance capacities of the soil. Soil aggregates are formed by two different process: physicogenic, related to moistening and drying cycles and input of organic matter; and biogenic, related to the action of macrofauna organisms and roots. The objective this work was to classify aggregates according to their formation process, quantify and compare organic carbon contents in humic substances and assess the stability of aggregates formed by different processes, in areas with different coverage in the Mid Paraiba Valley, Pinheiral, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Aggregated soil samples were collected at a depth of 0-10 cm, in a Cambisol (Cambissolo Háplico Tb Distrófico) under four plant covers: secondary forest in advanced (SFAS), medium (SFMS) and initial (SFIS) successional stages and managed mixed pasture (MMP). Aggregates were classified and identified into three morphological classes (physicogenic, biogenic and intermediate). The variables evaluated were mean weight diameter (MWD) and geometric mean diameter (GMD) of aggregates, chemical fractions of organic matter, total organic carbon (TOC) and humic substances: humin (C-HUM) humic acid (C-FAH) and fulvic acid (C-FAF). Biogenic aggregates were found in smaller quantities and showed higher TOC, C-HUM and C-FAH, compared to intermediate and physicogenic aggregates. Thus, biogenic aggregates have potential to be used as soil quality indicators for structured environments, which are able to maintain its intrinsic formation processes.

Selecting an effective archaeological survey takes careful consideration given the interaction of several variables, such as the survey's goals, nature of the data base, and budget constraints. This article provides justification for a “siteless survey” using evidence from a project on Potowomut Neck in Rhode Island whose objective was not to locate sites but to examine the distribution and density of prehistoric remains to test an hypothesis related to land use patterns. The survey strategy, random walk, was chosen because it possessed the advantages of probabilistic testing, as well as the ease of locating sample units. The results were within the limits of statistical validity and were found unable to reject the hypothesis. “Siteless survey” may be successfully applied in similar contexts where the distribution and density of materials, as opposed to ambiguously defined sites, are sought as evidence of land use patterns, in particular, and human adaptation, in general.

Land use Changes moved horizontally spatially towards areas that are easily cultivated. The land use also moves vertically in order to increase its quality. This study aims to analyze land use patterns, how land use management in one area is based on Nagari boundaries. The method used is spatial analysis with interpretation of remote sensing images, field surveys, and descriptive analysis. The growth of Nagari Sungai Sariak in Kecamatan VII Koto, Kabupaten Padang Pariaman resulted in overlapping use of space. Management methods are needed and management of land use in the framework of sustainable development that raises the standard of living of the community and does not cause environmental losses. There are 9 types of land use in the Nagari Sungai Sariak. The land uses are Primary Forest, Secondary Forest, Paddy Field, Settlement, Mixed Plantations, Crop Fields, Water Bodies, Bushes, and Plantations. The most extensive land use in Nagari Sungai Sariak is the type of Primary Forest land use, amounting to 48% of the total area of the Nagari Sungai Sariak. From 2011 to 2016, the most extensive land use occurred in Primary Forest land uses which later became Mixed Plantations.

Remote sensing analyses focused on non-timber forest product (NTFP) collection and grazing are current research priorities of land systems science. However, mapping these particular land use patterns in rural heterogeneous landscapes is challenging because their potential signatures on the landscape cannot be positively identified without fine-scale land use data for validation. Using field-mapped resource areas and household survey data from participatory mapping research, we combined various Landsat-derived indices with ancillary data associated with human habitation to model the intensity of grazing and NTFP collection activities at 100-m spatial resolution. The study area is situated centrally within a transboundary southern African landscape that encompasses community-based organization (CBO) areas across three countries. We conducted four iterations of pixel-based random forest models, modifying the variable set to determine which of the covariates are most informative, using the best fit predictions to summarize and compare resource use intensity by resource type and across communities. Pixels within georeferenced, field-mapped resource areas were used as training data. All models had overall accuracies above 60% but those using proxies for human habitation were more robust, with overall accuracies above 90%. The contribution of Landsat data as utilized in our modeling framework was negligible, and further research must be conducted to extract greater value from Landsat or other optical remote sensing platforms to map these land use patterns at moderate resolution. We conclude that similar population proxy covariates should be included in future studies attempting to characterize communal resource use when traditional spectral signatures do not adequately capture resource use intensity alone. This study provides insights into modeling resource use activity when leveraging both remotely sensed data and proxies for human habitation in heterogeneous, spectrally mixed rural land areas.
