SAMSUN PROVINCE LAND RESOURCES AND SOIL PROBLEMS
Abstract :
The basic principle of sustainable agricultural production and natural resources is to utilize lands based on their current potentials. Therefore, the present soil sources should be determined firstly. Yesilırmak and Kızılırmak Deltas are the most important agricultural lands in Turkey. However, inappropriate use of agricultural lands and erosion threat these important agricultural centers. In this study, it was determined that 51.92 % of 957.900 ha land in Samsun are exposed to severe erosion, and the percentage of inappropriate use of potential agricultural soils is 18%. Possible solutions to soil problems were examined in this study.
