Description

Similarity of World in Soil Patterns to Akkaraman, Karakash breed (Turkey) at 30 arc-second ( about 1 km) resolution

Practical application of Production Environment Descriptors for Animal Genetic Resources-country case studies for sheep and goat breeds

Soil similarity was assessed by comparing the composition of the soil association within the breed distribution areas with the soil composition of each land pixel. The soil composition of both the breed distribution areas and areas outside was obtained from the Digital Soil Map of the World (1995) using the soil classification established by FAO for this map (1974). As the legend for this map is a very complex one, containing more than 100 classes, the soils have been regrouped into broad soil management groups, which have similar properties in terms of soil management. These soil management groups, as well as the FAO soil classes they contain, are shown in Table 5. For more details on the symbols and definitions of the FAO soil types is referred to the Legend of the Soil Map of the World (FAO, 1974).
