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 ...

Pedometric Mapping of Soil Classes: A Case Study of San Mateo de Otao, Peru [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Conventional soil maps are designed based on expert criteria, a characteristic that reduces their reproducibility and generates subjective uncertainty. Pedometric mapping uses mathematical and statistical principles, which makes it the opposite of conventional mapping.

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.

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.

Prediction of Soil Erodibility by Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy in a Neotropical Dry Forest Biome
Land, 2022 The USLE and the RUSLE are two common erosion prediction models that are used worldwide, and soil erodibility (K-factor) is one parameter used to calculate them. The objectives of this study were to investigate the variability of soil-erodibility factors
