Geographic information system (GIS) soil fertility database - part II


    Mexico has a broad range of agricultural production systems, and the construction of a geographic information system (GIS) soil fertility database would aid in characterizing the current and potential status of these systems. This project initiated a large-scale sampling protocol that combined soil fertility data with georeferenced data for sites across Mexico for the eventual purposes of creating a detailed mapping and interpretation system, using GIS.
