Digital Mapping of Ecological Land Units using a Nationally Scalable Modeling Framework

Core Ideas Digital modeling framework for mapping ecological land units was developed. Digital maps eliminate spatial ambiguity of multicomponent soil map units. Spatial scale of modeling products can be optimized to meet management needs. National coverage of the training and covariate data provides ability to scale. Ecological site descriptions (ESDs) and associated state‐and‐transition models (STMs) provide a nationally consistent...
