Predictive digital soil mapping(PDSM) is a mapping technique enabled by advances in computing and data science that uses numerical or statistical models to combine information about soil-forming factors obtained from spatial data layers(environmental covariates) with point soil data in order to estimate soil features for a map area... 4, record 1, English, - digital%20soil%20mapping
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Conventional and digital soil mapping differ primarily in the way that soil classes or attribute values are assigned to locations. In conventional soil mapping, a combination of field inspection, extrapolation and expert knowledge is used, while in digital soil mapping, field information and quantitative inference models are used to predict soil conditions at given locations. 7, record 1, English, - digital%20soil%20mapping

Le principe général de la cartographie numérique des sols est [...] de prédire des classes de sol ou des propriétés de sol en utilisant d'une part les données pédologiques disponibles sur la zone à étudier et, d'autre part, les données spatiales représentant des éléments du paysage en relation (de causalité ou non) avec les sols, appelées dans la suite «covariables du sol». 2, record 1, French, - cartographie%20num%C3%A9rique%20des%20sols

A product of avalanche expert systems is an avalanche hazard map, which details the size, frequency, and aerial extent of potential avalanches. Manually produced hazard maps have been created from field observations over small areas in the Alps since 1878... These avalanche-cadastre maps show where avalanches have occurred; they have no predictive components and only consider extreme avalanche events with maximum run-out zones and pressure forces. 2, record 4, English, - avalanche%20hazard%20map
