Preface

This manual accompanies the Soils4Africa Digital Soil Mapping workflow, offering clear and reproducible R scripts to transform harmonized soil-point and environmental data into gridded soil property maps. Designed for both researchers and practitioners alike, it provides standardized and transparent methods for mapping soil properties, while also quantifying prediction uncertainty across Africa.
