Resumo: The semi-arid zone of the Mediterranean region is characterized by high spatial diversity of natural resources and its value for agriculture purposes. In Israel, desalination processes and wastewater treatments development allow a significant expansion of irrigated territories and the incorporation of new subtropical crops which demand high amount of irrigation water. This situation requires a suitability assessment of soils that were previously under dryland farming practices. For this purpose, a soil-landscape study was carried out in the Northwestern Negev region, considering environmental factors, aerial photographs of different years, detailed soil maps, morphological descriptions, and chemical data of selected soil profiles. The study revealed 8 soil types typical of the region, which allowed to characterize the soil diversity of the study area and link it to soil properties (14) that limit agricultural uses. The suggested criteria could be considered as a tool for land use planning which seeks to transform marginal lands into suitable lands for intensive agricultural purposes.

En Israel, el desarrollo de procesos de desalinización y tratamiento de aguas residuales permiten la expansión de territorios agrícolas irrigados y la incorporación de nuevos cultivos subtropicales los cuales demandan grandes cantidades de agua de riego. Esta situación requiere una evaluación de la aptitud de suelos usados previamente en actividades agrícolas de secano. Con este propósito, se realizó un estudio de suelo y paisaje en la región del Noroeste del Negev, considerando factores ambientales, fotografías aéreas de diferentes años, mapas de suelo detallados, descripciones morfológicas y datos químicos de perfiles de suelo. El estudio reveló 8 tipos de suelo típicos de la región, lo que permitió caracterizar la diversidad de suelos del área de estudio y vincularla a las propiedades del suelo (14) que limitan su uso agrícola. Los criterios sugeridos podrían ser considerados como una herramienta para la planificación del territorio con fines de transformación de tierras marginales en tierras aptas para la agricultura intensiva.Sociedade de Ciências Agrárias de Portugal2023-02-26info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.19084/rca.28365por2183-041X0871-018XCasaretto, Dafnainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-03-02T08:30:42Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/28365Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:47:23.764884Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
