Spectral Data Processing for Field-Scale Soil Organic Carbon Monitoring [PDF]
SensorsCarbon sequestration in soils under agricultural use can contribute to climate change mitigation. Spatial–temporal soil organic carbon (SOC) monitoring requires more efficient data acquisition. This study aims to evaluate the potential of spectral on-the-

Ten challenges for the future of pedometrics
Geoderma, 2021 Pedometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical methods to the study of the distribution and genesis of soils, has broadened its scope over the past two decades. The primary focus of pedometricians has traditionally been on spatial and spatio-temporal soil inventories with numerical soil classification, geostatistical modelling of spatial ...

Digital soil mapping from conventional field soil observations [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2013 We tested the performance of a formalized digital soil mapping (DSM) approach comprising fuzzy k-means (FKM) classification and regression-kriging to produce soil type maps from a fine-scale soil observation network in Rišňovce, Slovakia.

Entering the digital world (Pedometrics 2009) [PDF]
Geoderma, 2012 Development in pedometrics has not only shaped the research agenda in soil science but also attracted the attention of practitioners from other communities such as environmental modelling and land management who require digital information on soils. At the same time, demands from these communities and developments in information technology help to fuel

The development of pedometrics
Geoderma, 1994 Abstract Pedometrics, essentially the application of probability and statistics to soil, has its origins in agronomy in the early part of this century. For several decades it was a tool for designing experiments and surveys and in advisory work. It burgeoned in the 1960s for predicting soil properties at remote sites, for creating and analysing ...

Book Review: Pedometrics: How Relevant Is It to the Research on Soil Processes? [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019 Over the last three decades, hundreds of articles, quite a few books, and several international meetings (e.g., Vanwalleghem et al., 2018) have been devoted to the field of “pedometrics.” The aims that are pursued in this field, and the achievements ...

Pedometrics Research in the Vadose Zone—Review and Perspectives
Vadose Zone Journal, 2013 Pedometrics is the application of mathematical and statistical methods for the study of the distribution and genesis of soils. Pedometrics research in the vadose zone comprises studies of the spatial and temporal dynamics of soil properties as a scientific challenge to increase our understanding of the processes at the earth's surface.
