ANALYZING THE GEO-SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOIL TYPES AND MORPHOLOGY IN RELATION TO LAND SLOPE IN NANDURBAR DISTRICT, MAHARASHTRA (INDIA)

Abstract

Present research paper examines study about geo-spatial distribution of soil types and morphology in respect of land slope in Nandurbar District, Maharashtra, India. Through application of GIS along with remote sensing techniques, the research evaluates spatial variability in soil characteristics across different topographies. The results indicate that there is a strong relationship between soil types and the land slope; this observation makes evident the fact that topographical factors really affect the entire processes of soil formation and its spatial distribution pattern.

                This research determination contributes to the understanding of soil-environment interactions specific to the region and is useful for sustainable land management, agricultural practices, and environmental conservation strategies. In this way, the results become a vital resource for policymakers and land-use planners in efforts to improve land productivity while preserving ecological balance in the Nandurbar District.
