Abstract

This study aims to assess the land degradation of Damietta governorate by using the cartographic modeling. To fulfill this objective a number of 18 soil profiles, representing different mapping units were studied. Thirty six soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis. Field work and soil analyses were linked with their relevant mapping units. A simple cartographic model was designed on bases of the international framework for evaluating the land degradation. The results indicated that a significant area of the governorate is threatened by high degradation hazard.
