Abstract :

It is essential to develop and application of different strategies for irrigated and dry agricultural areasbecause of global warming and climate change. Dry farming areas in Turkey is more than irrigated area.The slope of this areas is generally more than 9-12%. It can be observed mild erosion, moderate erosion , severe and more severe erosion in this respectively 14%, 20%, 63%. Increasing irreversible soil and carbon loss, erosion causes land degradation, infertile soil and climate change in long-term. Identify of the paths of the soil organic carbon accurately in the specific regions is important. Organic carbon can bepreserved for a long time in the soil in suitable. However, changes in land use and with intensive tillage is caused significant decrease in soil carbon stacks. It is important to make new researches on organiccarbon loss and carbon dioxide emissions, and this researches should be on different applications and soil conditions. There are lots of national and international literatures on carbon losses and carbon dioxideemission by uses of agriculture mechanization. According to this results we aimed to determine the applications for dry and slope farmland.
