Soil Resources Mapping

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Remote Sensing of Soils

Abstract

Information on soils with regard to their nature, extent, spatial distribution, potential and limitations is a pre-requisite for sustained agriculture production, land valuation for taxation and developmental planning. Soil resources inventories provide such information.
