| Abstract | ||
| A study of Basrah soils families was classify by using satellite image of Landsat ETM+ 2002 for Basrah district to Family level instead of the traditional method of soil classification which depended on the recent American classification. Unsupervised classification method was used to classify the satellite image to six classes .Matching operation was execute to different pedon position with the satellite classified image. Result showed that the similar pedon was falling in the same photomorfic unit where of could deduct the high ability of remote sensing technique in classification the deferent soils families instead of the traditional method of classification ,which verify that the same soil unit which appear in the classified supervised image have same physical and chemical properties ,Where soil of Basrah district of Order Entisol and Suborder Fluvial in addition to Gratgroup of Torric Typic character of Sub great group level. Herewith the main limiting to variation, in classes due to variance in soils parameter like texture, minerals, reaction of soil and effected temperature. | ||
