Özet:

The fractal theory has become a useful tool that defines the dynamics of the soil structure to better understand the performance of soil systems. The changes in soil curvation significantly affect the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. However, there is limited information about the fractal characteristics of the soil layers located in different curves. Modern statistical studies allow to compare the deserting trends of different lands by identifying the heterogeneity of the lands. In this study, fractal analysis statistical techniques were used to determine the tendency of deserting throughout the soil profile for sixteen soil variables in four different inclination groups (% 0-2,% 3-6,% 7-12, >% 12). For this purpose, a total of 1808 land samples have been collected from the area of land collectivization of the Ortaköy district associated with the Aksaray province. The study took into account the contents of soil texture, saturation, pH, EC, salt, grape, Ca + Mg, Na, SAR, ESP, B, grape rate I, grape rate II and grape rate III. According to the fractal ratio, the pH, salt, peanut butter, silk, Ca + Mg, Na, SAR and ESP showed significant differences. In general, as the curvature increases, the fractal ratio values decrease. The fractal approach has been determined to be appropriate and recommendable in determining the heterogeneity of the soil.
