Fragipan bearing soils tend to occur where loess thickness is moderate (1 to 2 meters) or where the soil profile exhibits evidence of mass wasting of weathered limestone residuum. Consensus is consolidating around the self-weight collapse of loess and residuum after repeated wetting and desiccation. The use of gravel as an indicator of parent material differences and its correlation with fragipan development is not perfectly aligned, thus although most fragipans do exhibit a bisequal soil profile, the placement of the lithologic discontinuity is difficult given mass wasting, eluviation-illuviation, side slopes, and other soil processes that contribute to increasing the bulk density and conferring strength. Fragipan genesis is evolving;however, research involving Ecosystem Site Descriptions are a fusion of a land parcel’s soil properties, vegetational community, hydrology, and climate to guide land management. Ecological Site Descriptions associated with fragipan bearing soils are necessary, especially when making land management decisions.展开更多

Land surface was dividedinto three types according to its normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)values: bare soil, vegetated area, and transition zone. For each type, BBE at813.5 mm was formulated as a nonlinear function of AVHRR reflectance forChannels 1 and 2. Given difficulties in validating coarse emissivity products withground measurements, the algorithm was cross-validated by comparing retrievedBBE with BBE derived through different methods. Retrieved BBE was initiallycompared with BBE derived from moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) albedos. Respective absolute bias and root-mean-square errorwere less than 0.003 and 0.014 for bare soil, less than 0.002 and 0.011 fortransition zones, and 0.002 and 0.005 for vegetated areas. Retrieved BBE wasalso compared with BBE obtained through the NDVI threshold method. Theproposed algorithm was better than the NDVI threshold method, particularly forbare soil. Finally, retrieved BBE and BBE derived from MODIS data wereconsistent, as were the two BBE values.展开更多
