Studying the possibility of Using a Digital Camera in Estimating Soil Color and its Relationship with some of the Soil Properties


Abstract in English

This research aimed to study the possibility of using a digital camera in estimating soil color and compare it with Munsell soil color chart, and then study the correlation between soil color as important classification properties and soil content of organic matter, soil content of total carbonate and soil Texture.
