Advancing digital soil mapping with multi-year crop cover data: Impacts on model accuracy and soil interpretation by Babak Kasraei, Margaret G. Schmidt, Daniel D. Saurette, Chuck E. Bulmer, Jin Zhang, Travis Pennell, Kingsley John, Brandon Heung

“…Predictive modelling within a DSM framework can improve our understanding of the relationship between crop cover and different soil properties. This study had two main objectives: (1) to develop DSM models for six soil properties—bulk density (BD), organic carbon (OC), A horizon thickness (AT), total nitrogen (TN), pH, and cation exchange capacity (CEC)—both with and without CrFr covariates, and to compare their accuracy metrics; each soil property was modelled independently as a separate response variable; and (2) to investigate the relationships between covariates such as crop types, precipitation, and temperature and soil properties. …”
