Updating Categorical Soil Maps Using Limited Survey Data by Bayesian Markov Chain Cosimulation

Figure 3

The data for categorical soil map update by Markov chain cosimulation: (a) the legacy soil map; (b) the reference soil map, representing the current distribution of soil series; (c) the sample data set (646 points), including field survey data and pseudosample data directly extracted from the unchanged areas in the legacy soil map. Previous soil series: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, and S7. Updated soil series: SU2, SU3, SU4, SU6, and SU7. SU2 = S2, SU3 = S3 + S5, SU4 = S4, SU6 = S6 + part of S7, and SU7 = S7 + S1 + part of S6.
