Magnetic Properties of the French Soil Monitoring Network: First Results

The magnetic properties of the French soil Monitoring Network have been measured. This presentation show the first results obtained and especially maps of the magnetic properties at the country scale for France. Relationships between geology and the magnetic properties are clearly shown by the maps. Advanced statistics and geostatistics have applied to evaluate the possibility for magnetic properties to be used in pedotransfer function for assessing some soil chemical or physical properties.
