9780428530518: Land Classification in West Virginia Based on Use and Agricultural Value

Synopsis

This book examines the relationship between land quality and optimal land use for agriculture. The author evaluates various factors influencing the agricultural value of land, including soil fertility, moisture, ease of cultivation, texture, depth, and erosion. He also considers the impact of climate, and the economic and social factors that influence land use decisions. Based on these factors, the author establishes a land classification system that groups land into eight classes based on agricultural value and use. This classification system is then used to create a map of the state, showing areas of land belonging to each class. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the factors that affect land use for agriculture and offers a valuable tool for land-use planning.
