Soil Mapping

Soil mapping is the process of creating detailed maps that show the different types of soil in a specific area. This involves studying the physical and chemical properties of the soil, such as texture, structure, and nutrient content. Soil maps help researchers, farmers, and land planners understand how soils vary across landscapes, which is essential for agriculture, conservation, and urban development. By identifying soil characteristics, these maps guide decisions on land use, helping to protect the environment and support sustainable practices.
