Geostatistical prediction of clay percentage based on soil survey data

Geostatistical Analysis of a Soil Salinity Data Set

Assessment of protected vs. degraded oak forests: A geostatistical approach based on soil and plant diversity

Assessment of forest soil and vegetation characteristics provides basic and essential information for the protection and rehabilitation measures in forest ecosystems. Therefore, regard to the importance of this issue, the distribution of different soil properties and vegetation diversity in relation to conservation management and degradation investigated in the oak forests of Ilam province usin...

Assessment of soil property spatial variation based on the geostatistical simulation

The main objective in the present study was to assess the spatial variation of chemical and physical soil properties and then use this information to select an appropriate area to install a pasture rehabilitation experiment in the Zereshkin region, Iran. A regular 250 m grid was used for collecting a total of 150 soil samples (from 985 georeferenced soil pits) at 0 to 30, and 30 to 60 cm layers...

Water Content Effect on Soil Salinity Prediction: A Geostatistical Study Using Cokriging

A geostatistical analysis of soil salinity in an agricultural area in the San Joaquin Valley included measurements of electrical conductivity of soil paste extract (EC3 and water content of soil samples supplemented by surface measurements of apparent electrical conductivity (EM”). Prediction of soil salinity at unsampled points by cokriging log@C3 and EMa is worthwhile because EM” measurements...

Bayesian Geostatistical Modeling of Malaria Indicator Survey Data in Angola

The 2006-2007 Angola Malaria Indicator Survey (AMIS) is the first nationally representative household survey in the country assessing coverage of the key malaria control interventions and measuring malaria-related burden among children under 5 years of age. In this paper, the Angolan MIS data were analyzed to produce the first smooth map of parasitaemia prevalence based on contemporary nationwi...
