Busia Soil Class Map

The soil landscape rule-based model was used to disaggregate the soil map units by exploiting information in the Busia soil map legend and the map unit descriptions. These descriptions were used to generate rules that were applied to a fuzzy soil class map generated from a parent material map and a K-means cluster map generated from six terrain attributes, namely, multiresolution ridgetop flatness (MRRTF), multiresolution valley bottom flatness (MRVBF), SAGA Wetness Index (TWI), topographic position index (TPI), planform curvature, and profile curvature. The result was a soil class map with a spatial resolution of 30 m with an overall accuracy of 58% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.54.

This is a disaggregated soil map of the Busia area.
