The effect of climatic variables on soil moisture is quite high. In this study, the soil moisture status in Turkey has been analyzed by using satellite data between 2016 and 2022 for Land Surface Temperature (LST), surface pressure (PS) and precipitation variables. The effects of temperature changes, surface pressure and precipitation on soil moisture and how these interactions differ in different regions of Turkey are analyzed. Surface soil moisture (SSM) was highly correlated with rainfall (R 0.74). There was a high correlation between SSM and LST (R 0.74). Subsurface soil moisture (SUSM) was highly correlated with precipitation (R 0.73). There was a high correlation between SUSM and LST (R 0.74). Greenhouse gas emission data were taken from the Turk Stat data portal and the relationship between soil moisture was examined. A high level of correlation was observed between SSM and SUSM, f gases (R 0.97, R 0.96). This study can be considered as an important step in understanding the effects of Turkey's climatic variables on soil moisture. The findings emphasize that soil moisture is important for sustainable agriculture and environmental factors and provide an in-depth understanding of how climatic variables affect it. Such analyses can provide strategic information in areas such as agricultural planning, water resources management and environmental sustainability, and contribute to a more robust basis for future decisions.

İklim Değişikliği ve Hava Kirliliğinin Toprak Nemi Üzerindeki Etkileri: Türkiye Örneği

Öz

İklimsel değişkenlerin toprak nemi üzerindeki etkisi oldukça yüksektir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'deki toprak nem durumu, 2016-2022 yılları arasında uydu verileri kullanılarak Kara Yüzey Sıcaklığı (LST), yüzey basıncı (PS) ve yağış değişkenleri için analiz edilmiştir. Sıcaklık değişimlerinin, yüzey basıncının ve yağışın toprak nemi üzerindeki etkileri ve bu etkileşimlerin Türkiye'nin farklı bölgelerinde nasıl farklılık gösterdiği analiz edilmiştir. Yüzey toprak nemi (SSM), yağışla yüksek oranda ilişkiliydi (R 0,74). SSM ve LST arasında yüksek bir korelasyon vardı (R 0,74). Yeraltı toprak nemi (SUSM) yağışla yüksek oranda ilişkiliydi (R 0,73). SUSM ve LST arasında yüksek bir korelasyon vardı (R 0,74). Sera gazı emisyon verileri TÜİK veri portalından alınmış ve toprak nemi arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. SSM ve SUSM, f gazları arasında yüksek düzeyde korelasyon gözlenmiştir (R 0,97, R 0,96). Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin iklim değişkenlerinin toprak nemi üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılmasında önemli bir adım olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bulgular, toprak neminin sürdürülebilir tarım ve çevresel faktörler için önemli olduğunu vurgular ve iklim değişkenlerinin bunu nasıl etkilediğine dair derinlemesine bir anlayış sağlar. Bu tür analizler, tarımsal planlama, su kaynakları yönetimi ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik gibi alanlarda stratejik bilgiler sağlayabilir ve gelecekteki kararlar için daha sağlam bir temel oluşturmaya katkıda bulunabilir.
