  • There is a spatial soil properties distribution surface in raster format. This is the result of a study about digital soil mapping. Implementing geoestatistics (regression kriging RK) and machine learning algorithms (random forest RF, support vector machines SVM, and ensemble models), the study found the best performance for 5 soil properties (clay fraction, bulk density, total porosity, pH, and cation exchange capacity). The study was located in a region named “Hoya del río Suárez”, which is the main sugarcane-producing region in Colombia, and its land area is around 47000 hectares. Those raster surfaces were carried out in 2021, and the database used for doing this study was compiled between 2015 and 2016.
