Аннотация

Geostatistics, which can b c defiucd as tlie tools for studyiiig aud prcdicting tlie spatial structurc o f georeferenced varial)les, have been tnainly used in soil scieiice during the past two decades. Since now. huntlreds o f geostatistical papers have been published on soil science issues (see bibliography ibid., this vohnne). The use o f geostatistical tools in soil science is diverse and extensive. It can be for studying and predicting soil contamination in industrial aroas. for building agrochemica niaps at the field levpl, or even to nia] physical and cheniical soil properties for a global extent. The users o f the output niaps are going froni soil scientists to environniental inodelers.
