THE ESSENTIAL ASPECTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL SOIL MAPPING RESULTS ACCORDING TO SPACE SURVEY DATA

Abstract

It summarizes the essential aspects of the analysis of digital soil maps obtained by decoding of satellite imagery data. Multi-spectral data from the Landsat 8 satellite are used for mapping and parametric description of chernozem soils in the Forest-steppe province of Ukraine: 1) to delineate soil mapping units and evaluate their spatial structure; 2) to quantitatively assess main properties of chernozem using geo-statistics and multi-dimensional data processing. Field description of soil profiles from the mapped soil classes demonstrated the efficacy of ISODATA cluster analysis for determining different elements of the soil cover at the local territorial level. Maps of humus content, created by empirical bayesian kriging, enabled parameterisation of chernozem and further detailed analysis of the structure of the humus scalar field.
