Comparison of the use of digital elevation models in digital mapping of soils of Dois Irmãos, RS, Brazil
01/Oct/2014
Digital elevation models (DEM) are fundamental sources for correlating the occurrence and distribution of soils in the landscape by digital soil mapping (DSM). The influence of the types and resolutions of DEMs on the predictive capability of prediction models of soil classes has not been greatly studied. This study evaluated and compared the effects of different DEMs on the prediction of occurrence of soil mapping units (MU). Twelve predictor variables derived from different DEMs were correlated with the occurrence of […]
