Predictive Soil Mapping

Predictive Soil Mapping is a technique used to forecast the distribution and characteristics of soils in a specific area. By combining data from existing soil samples, topography, climate, and vegetation, scientists create detailed maps that show where different soil types are likely to be found. This helps farmers choose the best crops, aid land-use planning, and manage natural resources effectively. Ultimately, it enhances our understanding of soil health and supports sustainable land management practices for better agricultural and environmental outcomes.
