Field scale slope position segmentation at agricultural landscape in hilly area

Field scale slope positions segmentation was carried out by using similarity-based approach at agricultural landscape in a hilly area. Soil physical, chemical and pedogenic properties were applied to test reasonability of the slope positions segmented. Results indicated that slope positions generally followed the actual feature of the land form and it could well explain the variance of soil physical, chemical and pedogenic properties. Also the results verified the validity of similarity-based approach used in the complex terrain area.
