Abstract
Salinity has become one of the major problems
affecting crop production and food security in Central and
Southern Iraq. There is a pressing need to quantify and map the
spatial extent and distribution of the salinity in the country in
order to provide relevant reference for the central and local
governments to plan future agricultural development. The aim
of this study is to conduct such quantification and mapping in
the Mesopotamian Plain by an innovative remote sensing-based
multiyear maximum and multiscale modeling and mapping
approach.
