Soil texture is an essential and extremely variable physical property that strongly influences
many other soil properties that are highly relevant for agricultural production, eg, fertility and …

Abstract Digital Soil Mapping is becoming increasingly operational because of shared
approaches, clear specifications (eg, GlobalSoilMap) and more “practical” applications …

This work presents the first high-resolution map of soil organic carbon (SOC) in mainland
France, including soils below 30 cm. The research was performed within the framework of …

This work presents the first GlobalSoilMap (GSM) products for France. We developed an
automatic procedure for mapping the primary soil properties (clay, silt, sand, coarse …

Legacy soil data have been produced over 70 years in nearly all countries of the world.
Unfortunately, data, information and knowledge are still currently fragmented and at risk of …

Plant available water capacity (AWC) refers to the maximum amount of water that a soil can
store and provide to plant roots. Spatial predictions of AWC through digital soil mapping at …

The French soil-test database (Base de Données d'Analyses de Terre: BDAT) is populated
with analytical results of agricultural topsoil samples requested by farmers for fertilization …

The permanent wilting point (PWP) is the minimal point of soil moisture a plant requires not
to wilt. If moisture decreases to this, or any lower point, a plant wilts, and can no longer …

Soil properties have a very high spatial variability; to manage them better, it is necessary to
produce a mapping inventory. This chapter discusses the capacity of French observation …

Résumé La compréhension de la répartition spatiale des sols et leur cartographie est un
enjeu important tant les services écosystémiques rendus par les sols ont un rôle …
