Mapping of soil properties using geographic information systems (on the example of Tashkent region)

The article analyzes the options for mapping soil properties using GIS systems. The perspectives on the use of GIS in the efficient mapping of soil mechanical content, agrochemical, and salinization characteristics are given. The study is conducted for irrigated sierozem soils of the Parkent district of Tashkent region. The basis of the research is the analysis of soil map data of the study areas, and the generalization of the results of soil-cartographic, laboratory, and cameral-analytical studies, which were conducted by commonly use methodological instructions. As a result of the research, digital thematic maps were created for the selected areas, such as various thematic maps, such as soil mechanical composition, soil nutrient status, and salinity maps.
