Spatial Modeling for Soil Classification According to Its Physical Properties in Babil Governorate Using GIS
Abstract
The study aims to classify the soil in the region according to its physical properties represented by texture, apparent and true density, and porosity. The soil in the study area was classified according to texture into (8) categories represented by the mixed texture, the mixed clayey mixed texture, the mixed clayey mixed texture, the mixed clayey mixed texture, the mixed clayey mixed texture, the mixed clayey mixed texture, the mixed clayey sandy clayey mixed texture, the mixed silty clayey mixed texture, and the clayey mixed texture. The mixed clayey mixed texture constituted the largest proportion, amounting to (905.1) km2, i.e. it occupied (17.7%) of the total studied area, while the mixed texture occupied the smallest area, amounting to (278.34) km2, i.e. it constituted (5.5%) of the total studied area. While according to the standard of apparent density for soil classification, which includes (6) categories, the studied sites were classified into (5) categories only, i.e. the first category, which is represented by the soil being loose and rich in material.
