Using Black Earth and Remote Sensing - Soil Analysis, Methods and Guidelines - Presentation (Legacy 10-416)

Author(s): Sarah Johnson; Marc Abrams; Laurie Rush

Year: 2012

Summary

This presentation defines black earth/soils; describes sampling, lab, and analytical methods; outlines the use of the results in ArcMap (Inverse Distance Weighting spatial interpolation tool), and discusses species and soil mineral contents that may indicate use by Native Americans. The thesis of the presentation is that an integration of the use of vegetative indicator species and black earth has more predictive power than either alone.
