The inherent spatial and temporal variability of soil means that its properties vary markedly with location and time (Rogerio et al., 2006). This spatial and temporal variability can happen as a result of agricultural management, land use, erosion, landforms, geomorphic elements and soil management practices (Buol et al., 1997;Denton et al., 2017). Estimating and predicting the spatial distribution of soil properties is a critical factor for sustainable land management (Castrignanò et al., 2011). Soil survey and creating soil maps are very important activities because of their
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
