"Geospatial Evaluation of Soil Properties through GIS in Devanahalli Taluk, Karnataka"

Abstract

The soil can be defined as the delicate thin layer of material that covers the land and is generally regarded as a natural resource. The term soil as we must understand is able to perform a number of functions and these include being able to ensconce different physical and chemical activities along with a vast assortment of microorganisms. The project’s goal, thus, is to evaluate certain types of factors by measuring the soil properties and the amount of spatial variation in its properties. The objectives of the mapping project, which is a pilot in nature, are to collect, summarize and analyze specific measurements aimed at understanding the spatial characteristics of soil properties in the area located within the Devanahalli taluk. Hence, a temperature of the areas under investigation, along with soil moisture, soil properties of pH, potassium (K), phosphorus (P), and organic carbon (OC) of the soil, were synthesized within the analytical models in response to the target area.
