| Summary: | In this study, some physical properties and erosion tendency of soils in Trabzon - Limli watershed creek have been studied. The study area, Limli watershed creek, which is located in the East Black Sea Region of Turkey is 24 Km. far away from Trabzon. For this purpose, 32 soil profiles have been dug in 3 different altitudes and 2 different exposures and 64 units soil samples have been taken from different depth steps (0-20 cm. and 20 - 50 cm.). As indicated below, 14 soil properties have been measured on each soil sample; texture, soil fractions, dispersiyon ratio, colloid / moisture equivalent ratio, erosion ratio, loss on ignition ratio and pH. It has been determined that soils are sensitive to erosion, acording to the soil erodibility index. |
