are US Soil Taxonomy, Modern Soil Classification of Russia, French Soil Classification, and the FAO/UNESCO system. The major available interpretive soil and land maps are:
l and capability, soil salinity, soil erosion, soil depth, soil,
and land suitability maps, and Optimum Agricultural Land
Use Maps. The soil map of Libya (2005) has identified (as
an overview) the types of nonsoil formations (nonsoil)
which cover about 98% of the total area of the country. Soils
are found mainly in the coastal lands and Northern mountains, whereas in the southern part of Libya, they are found
in depression areas, dry valleys, and sedimentary plains (see
Chap. 3). Before 2001, none of the maps in Libya was in
digital formats. In 2001, the Libyan Land Resources Database (Soil, Water, Topography, Climate, Vegetation cover,
etc.) was established and Land Resource Information Management System (LRIMS) in Libya was initiated.
