Abstract

The aim of the current study is to employ the advanced techniques of remote sensing and GIS to assess the soil mapping of large areas. The study area is located at the north east of the Nile Delta. It occupies the entire area of El-Ismaillia Governorate and covers an area of about 2800 km2. The ASTER data showed that the physiographic units of the area under investigation were fluvio- marine deposits, river terraces, outwash plain, plain, wadi, wind blown sand, sand dunes, Nile deltaic deposits, depression and rocky land. The soil map of the studied area generated from the produced physiographic map of the area and the morphological features combined with analytical data of the studied soil profiles. The soil map showed the following subgroups: Typic Haplotorrerts (14%), Typic Torriorthents (25%), Typic Torripsamments (50%), Vertic Torrorthents (2.6 %), Gypsic Haplosalids (2.3 % of the total study area).
