Despite decades of research in soil mapping, characterizing the spatial variability of soil salinity across large regions remains a crucial challenge. This work explores the potential use of Landsat 7 (L7) satellite reflectance data (30×30m resolution) to facilitate salinity mapping. Reflectance dat...
