found: Wilipedia, Oct. 12, 2006:(Digital soil mapping or Predictive soil mapping is the computer-assisted production of digital maps of soil type and soil properties; it typically implies use of mathematical and statistical models that combine information from soil observations with information contained in correlated environmental variables and remote sensing images)
found: Global Workshop on Digital Soil Mapping WWW site, Oct. 12, 2006:("digital" or "predictive" soil mapping (abbreviation DSM); the idea is to use as much secondary digital data as possible (digital elevation models, remote sensing images, existing soil surveys and point observations) to optimise soil survey: sampling plans, further fieldwork, map and database production, with the aim of producing a digital product which can be directly used in a GIS and interpeted on-demand, replacing the traditional static soil map)
