Soil Properties of The Quarry Areas in Suleymanpaşa-Tekırdag

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the soil properties of the areas where stone quarries are located in Süleymanpaşa district of Tekirdağ province of Turkey, and to find out whether they are suitable for agriculture. To this end, the study analyzed the Great Soil Groups Map and Land Use Capability Map of the region and identified the borders of the quarries on these maps. The borders of the quarries were superimposed on these maps using the software ArcGIS. The research results indicated that the whole area of the quarries covers class II and class III lands and the quarries operate in Grumusol and Brown Forest Soils. The total amount of agricultural land removed by stripping operations of the quarries operating in a total area of 206 hectares was computed using the data on average soil depth and bulk density and found to be 4,622,000 tons.
