| Title: New challenges for predictive soil mapping Date: Authors: Hengl T., Heuvelink G.B.M. Link: spatial-analyst.net/PDF/Hengl_Heuvelink_DSM2004.pdf Abstract: This paper lists possible developments in predictive soil mapping. Six key tasks are discussed: (1) new spatial prediction algorithms, (2) dynamic modelling of soil genesis, (3) integration of GIS and statistics, (4) use of new technological innovations, (5) use of high-resolution imagery and (6) global modelling of soil genesis. Especially dynamic modelling of soil genesis, use of high-resolution DEMs and development of global thematic soil maps is expected to be a major field of research in pedometrics for the next decade. Solving these research problems requires a joint effort of both pedometricians and pedologists. Reference: Hengl T., Heuvelink G.B.M., 2004. New challenges for predictive soil mapping.
