A Qualitative Comparison of Conventional Soil Survey and Digital Soil Mapping Approaches

摘要: Research in digital soil mapping has indicated that its methodologies could be successfully extended to a field setting where it enhance the quality and scientific foundation of surveys, as well save time money. These assumptions are being put test Mojave Desert California part continuing effort within ongoing surveys. One questions posed this study is how comparable third-order map created by conventional survey approach one via mapping. To compare two approaches subgroup level Soil Taxonomy was chosen response variable unit comparison. Within each proportion number subgroups predicted qualitatively compared. intermontane basins predictive model used for mapping, estimated smaller associated with fan remnants. Whereas mountains fewer subgroups, different composition subgroups.
