Spatial variability of soil and relationship with satellite digital data in eastcentral Illinois

Past studies have suggested that satellite imagery is of little use in large scale soil mapping, because they found few relationships between satellite-derived maps and field soil maps. Rather than evaluate imagery-derived maps by their degree of spatial correspondence with a field soil map, it seems preferable to judge the field soil map and imagery-derived map by a common objective standard: the degree to which each map groups similar soils and separates different ones based on significant soil properties.
