Revolutionizing agriculture: Mapping soil moisture to optimize water use in China
The study focused on understanding soil moisture in China, especially in areas with high agricultural activity. By using mapping techniques like IDW, Spline, and Kriging in ArcGIS 9.0, researchers created distribution maps of soil moisture. This helps in managing water resources better for agriculture, improving crop yield, and designing irrigation systems effectively. The findings provide a foundation for connecting soil moisture with crop productivity.
