Abstract:The demand for high quality and low-cost spatial distribution information of soil texture classes (STCs) is of great necessity in developing countries. This paper explored digital mapping of topsoil STCs using soil fractions, terrain attributes and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms. The 4493 soil samples covering 10 out of 12 STCs were collected from the rice fields of the Guilan Province of Northern Iran. Nearly 75% of the dataset was used to train the ANN algorithm and the remaining 25% to apply a r… Show more
