Influence of Climatic Conditions on Excess Moisture at Surface and in Soil From Someş Mic Meadow

Abstract. Soils degraded by excessive moisture are characterized by the content on surface and in the mass of water which prevents normal function of plants and bring soil in poor condition of tillage and cultivation. A special case of excess water are the floods caused by overflowing rivers. The paper addresses a current topic both nationally and internationally, because often the effect of excess moisture in soil is neglected to be studied in detail, although it is mandatory to assess and monitor closely the phenomenon of soil degradation in European countries.The main objective of the paper is to present the influence of climatic conditions on excess moisture at surface and in soil from Someș Mic meadow. Using rainfall values recorded for the period 2011-2012 at the weather stations in Cluj-Napoca, Salatiu and Apahida could create a database necessary to achieve the mean annual precipitation map for Somes Mic floodplain between Cluj-Napoca and Dej, using GIS techniques. Making Geographical Information Systems, in order to elaborate decisions regarding the necessary hydro-ameliorative works in the studied area were based on storaging and editing geographical information and also analysing and studying other parameters measured and determined for the perio
