Abstract: |
Agriculture is the backbone of Nepal and more than 60% people are involved in agriculture for their livelihood. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is depleting day by day from the agricultural lands due to human activities and soil erosion. SOC is the prime component of soil which governs the soil fertility, soil health, crop productivity and climate change. Conventional methods of determining SOC by farmers interviews and eye estimation is time consuming and less authentic. The application of geographic information systems (GIS) and field survey for SOC estimation and mapping is more accurate and less time consuming……………………. |
