Land capability analysis using LCLP software in cangkringan micro watershed model

Abstract

Each land in a watershed area has different capabilities depending on the characteristics of the land in the area. Land capability analysis is needed in land management and land use, the aim is that land use can be carried out optimally and reduce the impact of land damage. Determination of land capability class using the matching method, by matching and comparing land characteristics or land limiting factors with land capability class criteria according to the USDA classification system. This study was started by conducting field observations and taking soil samples, then analyzed using Land Capability and Landuse Planing (LCLP) software and GIS to get a map of the land capability class. The results showed that the land capability in site are consists of class II-IV and VI-VII. The limiting factors for land management are erosion (e), permeability (P), texture (t) and slope (L)

Evaluation of Soil Resources and Groundwater Exploration for Precision Agriculture in Wadi El-‎Madamude, East Luxor, Upper Egypt‎

“…While specific evaluation methods have been applied in developing countries, they do not always consider local realities (Swaminathan et al, 2023). Despite several shortcomings, the Storie index rating, soil irrigability classification, USDA land capability classification, and the FAO land evaluation framework continue to be the most popular guides for land evaluation methods (Elwan, 2013;Mondal and Sarkar, 2021;Fadhilla et al, 2022). As a result, Elwan (2013;2019) established four new methods in India for land appraisal, precision farming, and sustainable planning development of desert areas, where they evolved as the world's first attempts to address the limitations of other systems.…”

“…Using technology in agriculture offers various advantages in assessing land and water parameters and gathering accurate data over broad areas (Fadhilla et al, 2022). It is also vital to understand and monitor the variations in soil and water quality within an agricultural field (Bhat et al, 2023).…”
