Digital Soil Mapping is the creation and the population of a
geographically referenced soil database. It is generated at a given
resolution by using field and laboratory observation methods coupled
with environmental data through quantitative relationships. Digital soil
mapping is advancing on different fronts at different rates all across
the world. This book presents the state-of-the art and explores
strategies for bridging research, production, and environmental
application of digital soil mapping.It includes examples from North
America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The chapters
address the following topics: - evaluating and using legacy soil data -
exploring new environmental covariates and sampling schemes - using
integrated sensors to infer soil properties or status - innovative
inference systems predicting soil classes, properties, and estimating
their uncertainties - using digital soil mapping and techniques for soil
assessment and environmental application - protocol and capacity
building for making digital soil mapping operational around the globe.
