Using R for Digital Soil Mapping

Authors: Brendan P. Malone, Budiman Minasny, Alex B. McBratney



Describes in detail, with ample exercises, how digital soil mapping is done

This work includes a number of work-flows that direct users how to create digital soil maps for their own projects

This work includes tutorials for users to learn the fundamentals of R, but with a focus on how to use it for digital soil mapping

This book describes and provides many detailed examples of implementing Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) using R. The work adheres to Digital Soil Mapping theory, and presents a strong focus on how to apply it. DSM exercises are also included and cover procedures for handling and manipulating soil and spatial data in R. The book also introduces the basic concepts and practices for building spatial soil prediction functions, and then ultimately producing digital soil maps.
