Who are/could be the users of soil information?
Decision takers International organizations
National governments
Extensionists/Farmers
Researchers/scientists Modellers from other disciplines requiring soil data
Researchers working in the food production field
Soil scientists working purely in new approaches
Agronomists and extensionists Extensionists that use the data to take decisions and provide advise. At field level.
Farmers/Agrodealers In the absence of extension services, farmers require guidance. They could be
potential users of soil information.
Already happening in precision farming
Lecturers and students, etc.

Soil as body vs. soil as continuum
• Soil as soil body (pedon). • Soil unit (mapeable) polipedon. • Discrete Model of Spatial
Variation (based on polygons). (Heuvelink, 2005).
• Soil is continous in the geographic space.
• Continous Model of Spatial Variation (grid-pixel)
![Page 7: Digital Soil Mapping by Ronald Vargas Rojas](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5889e0591a28ab83478b6fbf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Considerations of conventional soil mapping
• Soil information represented by cloropletic (polygon) maps (discrete units).
• Discrete model of spatial variation
• Maps are static and qualitative (subjectivity when using interpretation).
• Soil classes (Typic Ustorthents), difficult to integrate with other themes or sciences (specially with modeling).
• Pedology = pure science? Other sciences have made use of the Geo-information tools and methods.
• Approach: qualitative or quantitative?
![Page 8: Digital Soil Mapping by Ronald Vargas Rojas](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5889e0591a28ab83478b6fbf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
(V.V. Dokuchaev, Rusia,1883)
• Soil as a natural body having its own genesis and history of development.
• Conceptual model: the soil genesis and geographic variation of soils could be explained by a combined activity of the 5 factors.
• Five soil forming factors: – 1. climate – 2. organisms – 3. parent material – 4. relief – 5. time
FIVE SOIL FORMING FACTORS
![Page 9: Digital Soil Mapping by Ronald Vargas Rojas](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5889e0591a28ab83478b6fbf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SOIL FORMING FACTORS
(Hans Jenny, Switzerland/USA, 1941)
• Jenny equation, soil forming factors:
s = F(cl, o, r, p, t)
climate organisms relief parent material time
• Generic relation connecting observed soil properties with
independent factors that determines the process of soil formation.
• A concept, no an equation to be solved

DMSV, polygon based mapping.
Soil classes. Soil survey: + finding soil-landscape units
(photointerpretación ). + soil profile description + soil classification + modal profiles and
composition of units.

Limitations of conventional soil mapping
• Pedologist generate a soil-landscape model. The model and knowledge is implicit, not documented and intuitive. Difficult to re-build and reproduce.
• Soil class/type cloropletic map. The name comes from a modal profile (most representative of the unit).
• Assumptions, limitations and unknown accuracy. • Soils varies along the landscape but still soil. Gradual changes are
represented by sharp boundaries. • Variability inside a class is considered non spatially correlated. • Qualitative: there is no quantitative expression of the spatial
variability of the soil body and its properties. • Two main types of errors: commission and omission.
![Page 18: Digital Soil Mapping by Ronald Vargas Rojas](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5889e0591a28ab83478b6fbf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Limitations of conventional soil mapping
• Comission errors: when a MLA is established, smaller areas are eliminated.
• Omission errors: spatial variability of soil properties inside
a polygon is eliminated in the GIS context.

Example
ARE THE SOIL PROPERTIES BETWEEN THESE UNITS DIFFERENT?
SOTER map from the Tugen Hills in Kenya overlaid over SRTM DEM and Landsat ETM image (slide credit: Walsh, M., 2009). The
boundaries of the polygons representing soil units do not show consistency considering the soil factors.

Soil Survey diminished significantly
![Page 24: Digital Soil Mapping by Ronald Vargas Rojas](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5889e0591a28ab83478b6fbf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The different type of users require different type of soil data and information. Usually, soil scientists are used to provide standard type of Soil Survey Report and Data, even if clients are not asking for it . Below some current requisites for soil information as requested by some users of FAO databases:
- Soil properties datasets should be available
- Data should be quantitative, nor qualitative
- Data should be represented in a continuous format (raster)
- Accuracy of the products should be included
- Apart from global products, more detailed data and information is required.
- Global and regional data should be updated
- Monitoring of the data is necessary
Type of data and information required

Technological Developments in Soil Mapping
![Page 26: Digital Soil Mapping by Ronald Vargas Rojas](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020314/5889e0591a28ab83478b6fbf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
An alternative approach: digital soil mapping
• Based on the Continuous Model of Spatial Variation (CMSV).
• Challenge: new methods that represent the spatial variability of soils at known accuracy and that are cheaper and faster. They should take advantage of the available technology. Pedometrics, Digital Soil Mapping, Predictive Soil Mapping.

Case in Somalia: soil data needs Assessment of land degradation
Increasing rate of soil loss/gully erosion
…what are the figures? Rapid colonization by
unpalatable species …which areas?
Guidance on crop production and land management
A lot of changes/forces putting pressure on traditional land use
• Frequent drought • Advice/donor focus on crop production
• Loss of palatable vegetation • Changing land tenure
• Socio-political upheavals • Population pressure • Reducing herd sizes
Moisture & nutrient management issues
What to grow and where to grow it?

Status of legacy data and challenges 1: 1, 000, 000 FAO Soil map
• Available datasets have huge gaps • Few soil scientists are available/willing to venture into the field
• Limited field validation for most parts of the country
• Some data were available • Soil map
• Climate data
Strategy
• Choose area(s) with high demand/less access restrictions • Develop necessary data/re-construct database • Combine tools/methodology for mapping soil
• Soil profile descriptions • DSM

Soil Maps: Weighted mean
Deriving continuous depth soil properties from a soil polygon map
Depth spline process Soil pH profile data for the test area was extracted from ASRIS. The data contains between 1-5 depth layers of varying thickness and some layers may
be missing. A spline is fitted to the data and 1cm interval layers of mean pH is returned.
The mean value of pH is derived for the GSM standard depth intervals (i.e. 0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-100, 100-200).
The standard depth mean values are the spline parameters. Only 6 parameters and a smoothing function need to be stored to recreate the spline.
The outputs of the splining process are attached to the spatial dataset. In this instance the data not attached to the original conventional vector soil map but to
a 90m rasterized version.

78 Digital Soil Mapping For Nigeria
78
Steps in DSM for Nigeria (following Rossiter, 2008): Data archeology- locating and
cataloguing of soil legacy data
Data capture- scanning and digitisation of analogue soil
legacy data
Data renewal- transformation of captured legacy data into usable
digital database
Acquisition and/or transformation of covariate data at fine (100m) grid & sample
location
( ) eQfVd +=
Spline function- fit a spline function to each soil profile to estimate values at GSM standard depths
Use data mining tool to interpolate a soil property at each depth onto the fine grid
E.g., Digital map (100-m resolution) of a target soil attribute at a given depth predicted from 572 locations and covariates
Soil profiles at sample locations

Why do we need SoilProfile.org?
• Objective:
SoilProfile is a (de)-central repository for collecting, storing, accessing and interacting with soil profile observations
• Rationale:
SoilProfile is a part of a larger GSIF. It is the physical implementation of ISRICs contribution to fulfil its mandate as World data centre for soil to “Serve the scientific community as custodian of global soil information”
