Duration:
2011 - 2014 Objectives:
The AutoMAPticS (Automatic MAPping of Soils) project aims to complete the soil-map coverage of continental Portugal at 1:100 000 using a landscape approach. There are two main PR approaches to mapping the spatial distribution of soils using a soil-landscape modelling (SLM) approach: one based on Expert Systems (ES) and another on Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS). Whilst ES is based on the expert knowledge of the variation of soils in the landscape, using only landscape surrogate data, the KBS is based on the existence of both surrogate landscape data and soils data.
