abstract = {In precision agriculture (PA), compact and lightweight
electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors have extensively
been used to investigate the spatial variability of soil, to
evaluate crop performance, and to identify management zones
by mapping soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa), a
surrogate for primary and functional soil properties. As
reported in the literature, differential global positioning
systems (DGPS) with sub-metre to centimetre accuracy have
been almost exclusively used to geo-reference these
measurements. However, with the ongoing improvements in
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, a
single state-of-the-art DGPS receiver is likely to be more
expensive than the geophysical sensor itself. In addition,
survey costs quickly multiply if advanced real time
kinematic correction or a base and rover configuration is
used. However, the need for centimetre accuracy for surveys
supporting PA is questionable as most PA applications are
concerned with soil properties at scales above 1 m. The
motivation for this study was to assess the position
accuracy of a GNSS receiver especially designed for EMI
surveys supporting PA applications. Results show that a
robust, low-cost and single-frequency receiver is sufficient
to geo-reference ECa measurements at the within-field scale.
However, ECa data from a field characterized by a high
spatial variability of subsurface properties compared to
repeated ECa survey maps and remotely sensed leaf area index
indicate that a lack of positioning accuracy can constrain
the interpretability of such measurements. It is therefore
demonstrated how relative and absolute positioning errors
can be quantified and corrected. Finally, a summary of
practical implications and considerations for the
geo-referencing of ECa data using GNSS sensors are
presented.},
