Abstract A growing world population and increases in food and energy consumption have placed production agriculture in a difficult situation. The rapid growth in food production through specialized operations such as monoculture cropping systems has aligned to satisfy increases in demand for food and fiber.

An integrated spatial econometric approach in valuing soil conservation using contingent valuation
Abstract The integration of soil value in agronomic micro‐level decision‐making and macro‐scale policy development has grown immensely in recent years. Major threats to soil resources and their impact on human well‐being require a comprehensive estimation of soil's economic worth, highlighting the need for sustainable and pragmatic conservation ...

How to compare sampling designs for mapping?
Abstract If a map is constructed through prediction with a statistical or non‐statistical model, the sampling design used for selecting the sample on which the model is fitted plays a key role in the final map accuracy. Several sampling designs are available for selecting these calibration samples. Commonly, sampling designs for mapping are compared in

Estimating texture and organic carbon of an Oxisol by near infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
Laboratory analyses are a fundamental basis for monitoring soil behavior. These analyses are usually tedious and expensive depending on the methodology used, which may limit data acquisition. The aim of this research was to evaluate the potential of Near

Perspectives on validation in digital soil mapping of continuous attributes—A review
Abstract We performed a systematic mapping of validation methods used in digital soil mapping (DSM), in order to gain an overview of current practices and make recommendations for future publications on DSM studies. A systematic search and screening procedure, largely following the RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES) protocol,

Soil-terrain modelling and erosion analysis at field scale level, a case study
Pedometrical methods and digital soil mapping represent a progressive approach to the evaluation of various terrain-related soil processes. A detailed digital terrain model was used for the analysis of erosion - sedimentation situation and description of
