Modern approaches to study of soil covering with the use of information-communication techniques

Abstract

The purpose. To demonstrate necessity of ICT, which allows to assess more effectively state of soils for needs of simulation and mapping. Methods. Field plot technique — for study of soil covering according to State standard DSTU ISO 7921, description of soils was carried out according to State standard DSTU ISO 25177. Base correction of tapping points and importation of information on soils was realized in field by means of mobile application Collector for Arcgis. Analytical method — the gathered data were processed with the help of Arcgis for Desktop 10.2.2. Results. The data gathered during field probes in digital format enable to generate the sequenced I nntelligence system which can be used for construction of graphs, schemes and maps with visualization of characteristics of silos for assessment of their real state. Conclusions. Application modern ICT for study of soil covering enables to gather operatively and process data about state of soils, essentially facilitates creation of models and maps which can display factors of soil formation and distribution of soils.
