Revolutionizing Soil Management: Geostatistics Uncover Key Land Characteristics for Sustainability
Soil characteristics vary across landscapes, affecting land management. This study used geostatistic methods to analyze soil properties along the Zabol to Zahedan route. By collecting and analyzing 252 soil samples, the researchers found that different models were best for predicting soil acidity, texture, calcium carbonate, and salinity. The conventional CoKriging method was most accurate for clay, calcium carbonate, and acidity, while the IDW method worked best for silt and soil salinity. These findings can help improve sustainable land management practices.
