TI  - Effects of land and plant managements on soil erodibility in theTurhal District of Tokat, Turkey
AB  - In this study, changes in the erodibility (sensitivity to erosion) values of soils under differentland and plant managements (sunflower, wheat, vegetables, sugar beets, alfalfa fields as wellas orchards, meadows and pastures) were examined in the Turhal district of Tokat province,Turkey. Physical and chemical properties of surface soil samples along with land managementpractices against erosion were investigated for their impact on sensitivity to erosion. Thesensitivity of the soil samples were found to be in the following order: Meadows< orchards<wheat<sunflowers<pastures<sugar beets<alfalfa<vegetables. The findings showthat fundamental soil characteristics, and especially clay and organic matter content, wereeffective in shaping the soil structure and therefore the erodibility, as well as the way the landwas used. The most suitable parametric values in soil characteristics were observed in themeadows, and the worst values were observed in the soil where vegetables beets were planted.
