Abstract

This landmark paper by Burgess & Webster (1980a) signalled a new era in the spatial mapping of the soil. The emergence of pedometrics as a distinct subdiscipline of soil science was a gradual process, and had its roots in earlier studies than this one, but if one publication is to mark the start of pedometrics, then this is it.
