abstract = {Reliable and high-resolution subsurface characterization
beyond the field scale is of great interest for precision
agriculture and agro-ecological modelling because the
shallow soil (~1–2m depth) is responsible for the
storageof moisture and nutrients that are accessible to
crops. This can potentially be achieved with a combination
of direct sampling and Electromagnetic Induction (EMI)
measurements, which have shown great potential for
soilcharacterization due to their non-invasive nature and
high mobility. However, only a few studies have used EMI
beyond the field scale because of the challenges associated
with a consistent interpretation of EMI data frommultiple
fields and acquisition days. In this study, we performed a
detailed EMI survey of an area of 1 km2 divided in 51
agricultural fields where previous studies showed a clear
connection between crop performanceand soil properties. In
total, nine apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) values
were measured at each location with a depth of investigation
ranging between 0–0.2 to 0–2.7 m. Based on the
combination of ECa maps andavailable soil maps, an a priori
interpretation was performed and four sub-areas with
characteristic sediments and ECa were identified. Then, a
supervised classification methodology was used to divide the
ECa maps intoareas with similar soil properties. In a next
step, soil profile descriptions to a depth of 2m were
obtained at 100 sampling locations and 552 samples were
analyzed for textural characteristics. The combination of
the classifiedmap and ground truth data resulted in a 1m
resolution soil map with eighteen units with a typical soil
profile and texture information. It was found that the soil
profile descriptions and texture of the EMI-based soil
classes were significantly different when compared using a
two-tailed t-test. Moreover, the high-resolution soil map
corresponded well with patterns in crop health obtained from
satellite imagery. It was concluded that this novel EMI data
processing approach provides a reliable and cost-effective
tool to obtain high-resolution soil maps to support
precision agriculture and agro-ecological modelling.},
