Total research plans and projects of this axis are trying to provide the first and most important step in the comprehensive management of soil and water by accurately identifying the agricultural soil as a production platform.
    Identifying these resources has made it possible to monitor the trend of their changes against different managements while helping to properly exploit resources, and provides the field of comprehensive management packages to solve related problems such a way that management package can be generalized to other similar homogeneous units on agricultural land.
