Global mapping of volumetric water retention at 100, 330 and 15 000 cm suction using the WoSIS database

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2023
Present global maps of soil water retention (SWR) are mostly derived from pedotransfer functions (PTFs) applied to maps of other basic soil properties.

A Note on Spurious Correlations and Explainable Machine Learning in Digital Soil Mapping

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
ABSTRACT The use of machine learning as a method for knowledge discovery is often critically discussed in soil science and related environmental disciplines. Reviews of the use of machine learning in digital soil mapping identified few studies that incorporated existing soil knowledge of transformation and translocation processes in soils and ...

Soil legacy data: An opportunity for digital soil mapping [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo
Soil legacy data is past information on soils available from various sources (e.g. survey reports and maps). When compiled and organized, data obtained through historical retrieval can be used as basic input or validation data for digital soil mapping. A

Environmental Information: Placing Biodiversity Phenomena in an Ecological and Environmental Context [PDF]

, 2005
Environmental models are increasingly being used as surrogates to determine plant and animal species’ distributions for a range of uses. This use of models has become an important part of the recent science that has become known as biodiversity ...

Artificial intelligence in soil science

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 2, March–April 2025.
ABSTRACT Few would disagree that artificial intelligence (AI) holds potential for advancing knowledge and innovation. Over the past decades, substantial research has been devoted to the development and application of AI in soil science. While most of today's AI applications in soil science are related to machine learning (ML), AI also encompasses other

Development of soil spectroscopy models for the Western Highveld region, South Africa: Why do we need local data?

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 75, Issue 6, November-December 2024.
Abstract The increasing global demand for sustainable agriculture requires accurate and efficient soil analysis methods. Conventional laboratory techniques are often time‐consuming, costly and environmentally damaging. To address this challenge, we developed and validated locally calibrated mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy models for predicting key soil

Connecting forest soil properties with ecosystem services: Toward a better use of digital soil maps—A review

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 981-999, July/August 2024.
Abstract The soil supports many ecosystem services (ES) essential to human well‐being. Rapid developments in digital soil mapping (DSM) allow the mapping of soil types and soil properties with improved resolution and accuracy. However, the potential of DSM to improve the assessment and mapping of ES is not fully exploited.

History of Soil Geography in the Context of Scale [PDF]

, 2015
We review historical soil maps from a geographical perspective, in contrast to the more traditional temporal–historical perspective. Our geographical approach examines and compares soil maps based on their scale and classification system.
