| Abstract | ||
| The area located at eastern part of Babylon Province / middle of Iraq in Musaiyib project was selected to study salinity distribution. Thirty sites were chosen representing the dominant land covers in the study area, and soil samples from each site were taken from the upper 30 cm to determine some soil properties. The main objective of this study is to develop some model to predict soil salinity and mapping using EM38 and field measurements.The results indicated that salinity can be predected by using the vertical reading of the EM38 and some vegetation indices. EM38 (V) shows high significant Correlation(r= 0.94) with salinity measured in laboratory. | ||
