The classified map was further segmented into polygons based on a region growing algorithm, yielding multi-scale maps of soil-landscape relations that were compared with maps of soil landforms identified from aerial photographs, satellite images and field observation.
This soil-landform relationship is extensive, covering approximately 160,000 ha across the eastern Central Valley and it is used extensively for winegrape production.
The following soil-landform element relationships developed: Quartzipsamments in the paleo-channel; Plinthaquults in the paleo-levee and paleo-floodplain and; Natrustalfs in the mound.
Procedures to estimate the uncertainty associated with the predictions and quality of information for the new soil-landforms map of the MDB are described.
Comparison of the results of our approach to semantic integration with an Antequera geo-pedological legend designed to map soil-landforms in this area at 1 50,000 scale shows a clear correspondence of ontologies.
Microwatersheds of Southern Honduras were examined to correlate soil type, landform, slope gradient and slump potential.
Land qualities related to different phases of land occupancy were defined based upon soil and landform.
The main relief units from the dry valley of Edson Hills, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica (79°49′12.4″/83°40′16.1″), were assessed, emphasizing the analysis of soil and landform interplay.
Soil and landform information is needed for a wide range of applications but available data are often inaccessible, incomplete, or out of date.
Through examination of relationships among vegetation, soil, and landform characteristics, the Bluffton Till Plain has been organized into 3 ecological land-types (ELT) and 12 ecological land-type phases (ELTP).
