Monitoring Spatio-Temporal Changes in Vegetation Cover, Soil Salinity and Waterlogging in Siwa Oasis, Egypt Using Remote Sensing Data and Techniques رصد التغیرات المکانیة والزمانیة فی الغطاء النباتی وملوحة التربة والغدق بالمیاه فی واحة سیوة ، مصر باستخدام بیانات وتقنیات الاستشعار عن بعد
Abstract:The availability of groundwater resources makes Siwa Oasis a potential region for agricultural projects in the western-desert of Egypt. This region, however, faces serious environmental problems such as water-logging and consequently soil salinization. Accordingly, the primary objectives of this research were to monitor and evaluate spatio-temporal changes in vegetation cover, water-logging and soil salinity in Siwa Oasis using remote sensing (RS) data and techniques. Therefore, Landsat images were acquired at… Show more
