A Comparison of Markov Chain Random Field and Ordinary Kriging Methods for Calculating Soil Texture in a Mountainous Watershed, Northwest China

Accurate mapping the spatial distribution of different soil textures is important for eco-hydrological studies and water resource management. However, it is quite a challenge to map the soil texture in data scarce, hard to access mountainous watersheds. This paper compares a nonlinear method, the Ma...
