Abstract
Evaluation soil erosion is an important matter to protecting it from destroying in future due to the excessive use of the inherent capacity of soil and also improper management. Therefore, in this study land vulnerability related to water and wind erosion of Abyek for crops and pasture land has been evaluated, using Raizal model as one of the Microleis sub-models. Morphological and physical and chemical analysis data were obtained of studying and evaluating the 32 soil profiles. Agricultural - climatic and management information including temperature and precipitation data were collected from Bagh-e-Kosar climatological station for the last 17 years. To study the effect of climatic changes in the assessment of land area for the year 2080 AD (for 70 future year), the reports of International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) allocated to West Asia have been used. Utilization types considered for evaluation, including wheat, corn, barley and alfalfa. The results obtained of Land vulnerability evaluation studies related to water and wind erosion using Raizal model part have been prepared as maps in the GIS environment. Information obtained from Land vulnerability models related to wind erosion for crops and pasture land, also implies vulnerability risk fora wide percent of the region lands under the current management, that the results evaluation of the proposed management methods express the improvement of destroying ability classes.
