Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a critical role in soil quality and has the potential to cost-effectively mitigate the detrimental effects of rising atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming and climate change(Causarano-Medina, 2006). SOM, an important source of plant nutrients is itself influenced by land use, soil type, parent material, time, climate and vegetation (Loveland &Webb, 2003). Important climatic factors influencing SOM include rainfall and temperature. Within the same isotherm, the SOM content increases with increase in rainfall regime. For the same isohyet, the SOM content................ date: 2011 date_type: published publisher: InTech Open Access place_of_pub: InTechWeb.org pagerange: 181-196 pages: 262 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-953-307-490-0 book_title: Biomass and Remote Sensing of Biomass official_url: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/biomass-and-remote-sensing-of-biomass related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Application+of+Artificial+Neural+Network+%28ANN%29+to+Predict+Soil+Organic+Matter+Using+Remote+Sensing+Data+in+Two+Ecosystems%22&num=10&btnG=Search+Scholar&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_pub related_url_type: author citation: Ayoubi, S and Shahri, A P and Karchegani, P M and Sahrawat, K L (2011) Application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to Predict Soil Organic Matter Using Remote Sensing Data in Two Ecosystems.
