dc.description.abstractThis study was aimed to determine spatial variability of boron (B) contents and some physical and chemical properties of the soils and to assess their spatial distribution patterns in Amik Plain. A total of 264 samples from surface and subsurface soil were collected from 132 sites in the study area. Soil samples were analyzed for B, pH, total soluble salt, CaCO3, particle size distribution, and organic matter (only in the topsoil). Boron content was found to vary between 0.13 and 5.29 mg/kg. Except for one, none of the soil samples contained more than 5 mg/kg which is a widely accepted critical concentration value for B toxicity in plants. Soil pH had the minimum variability and soluble salt had the maximum variability at the depths of 0-20 and 20-40 cm. The soil properties indicated a strong spatial dependence except for pH at 0-20 cm depth and sand content at 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm depths which showed moderate spatial dependence (nugget ratio ranging from 0.317 to 0.468).en_US
