Abstract
Where map legends and map unit definitions reflect the mental models used by
soil surveyors to map soils in the past, the association between soil map
units and other environmental spatial data can be re-modelled to infer formal
survey rules. These rules then can be used to guide subsequent
re-interpretations of spatial information for the same area or for another
area judged to be similar. Classification trees and Bayesian statistical
modelling were used to extract soil mapping rules from an existing map using
the Toowoomba area in south-eastern Queensland, Australia, as a case study. In
the Toowoomba map area, regional soil-landscape rules could be extracted by
combining geology and DEM-derived attributes. The two approaches achieved
comparable success.
