In this study, we applied the vine copula structures for multivariate analysis of flood characteristics. For this purpose, the hydrographs of 98 flood events recorded at Landi station in Bazoft watershed, in Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari Province, were selected and the flood characteristics, including peak flood (P), flood volume (V), flood duration (D) and time to peak (T) were extracted. Then, the best fitted distribution on each variable was selected by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. In the next phase, the C-vine and D-vine structure were created considering three (P,V and T/D) and four variables (P,D,T and V) in changeable orders. In this way, the flood volume and peak were considered in a constant combination, and flood duration or the time to peak were consideredchangeable in tri-variate joints. In the four-variable joints, different combinations of all four variables were used. We used Gumbel, Frank, Joe, Clayton, Gaussian and t-student copula functions to combine these variables. The results obtained from the theoretical joint were compared with the experimental joint of that compound. Results showed that the best permutations of C-vine and D-vine copulas are similar in trivariate models TPV, (NSE=0.913), and the Gumbel and Gaussian copulas have selected as the best-fitted copula at the edges. In four-variate cases, the best C-vine and D-vine structures were PVTD and PTVD, (NSE=0.989) and the Gumbel and Gaussian were the abundant copulas in both of C-vine and D-vine models. The results indicated that the four-variate vine structures have higher concordance with the empirical copula than the tri-variate structures.

Soil is known as a dynamic media so it easily degrade with inapplicable usage so with increasing in degradation of this limited source, the world’s food safety would be in danger. Thus, applicable and sustainable usage of agricultural lands are become an essential and inevitable agenda. Therefore, the aim of this study is to Digital soil mapping using decision tree for agricultural land suitability, In order to constitute management programs for sustainable use of agricultural lands. For this aim, samples were collected based on cLHS and after some laboratory experiments, modeling and digital soil mapping were created by Random Forest Model. Also, agricultural land suitability for dominant crops were investigated by parametric method. The results showed that the land evaluation for irrigated wheat with surface irrigation 75.27% of the total area S2 class and 24.73% of the land in the class S3, respectively. In assessing the suitability of land for Maize irrigation, 14.78% of the land in classes S1, S2 84.82 of class and 0.39% of the land in the class S3, respectively. Results for alfalfa irrigation land evaluation showed that 11.10 percent of the land in classes S1, 88.49% in the S2 class and 0.4% of the class S3, respectively
