Geochemical Classification of Soils in the Northern Part of the West Bank

This study has focused on the classification of soils in the northern part of the West Bank. The classification depended on soil content of Clay, Corg, Cation Exchange Capacity of (Na, Ca, Mg), heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu), Carbonates and pH. The soil samples were collected from the areas that...

Description
Summary:This study has focused on the classification of soils in the northern part of the West Bank. The classification depended on soil content of Clay, Corg, Cation Exchange Capacity of (Na, Ca, Mg), heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu), Carbonates and pH. The soil samples were collected from the areas that allowed to generalizing their results on similar areas in terms of different features such as: geological, topographical, vegetation and land use. The German system of soil mapping was used to define the soil levels. The combined map showed that there were very good, good, middle, poor and very poor soils.
