Digital soil mapping: a contribution to the resolution of the soil information crisis

土壤测绘是可持续环境管理土地资源评估的一个关键部分。澳大利亚和全世界都面临着土壤信息危机--没有以足够的分辨率绘制土壤图，无法进行有效管理。这主要是由于常规土壤调查费用昂贵造成的。该项目旨在为数字土壤测绘开发一种激进、稳健、定量和具有成本效益的方法。我们将在澳大利亚东部的两个地区测试和修改该方法，并将方法和产品转让给科学界和负责土壤评估的机构。

Soil mapping is a key part of land-resource assessment for sustainable environmental management. Australia and the world have a soil information crisis - the soil is not mapped at sufficient resolution for effective management. This is mainly caused by the large expense of conventional soil survey. This project aims to develop a radical and robust, quantitative and cost-effective methodology for digital soil mapping. We will test and modify the approach in two areas in eastern Australia and transfer the methodology and products to the scientific community, and agencies charged with the responsibility for soil assessment.
