Fig. 4. Shallow electrical conductivity (ECshallow) vs. soil moisture, clay, Ca, and depth to argillic or cambic horizons for four locations. The solid circles indicate the first and open circles the second date for each location listed in Table 2 under the Transect EC Measures column. The coefficient of determination (r2) is given for simple linear regressions. The data used for the regression relationship between EC and depth to argillic or cambic horizon only include those observations where the depth to argillic or cambic horizon was <50 cm (solid circles).

Fig. 7. Shallow electrical conductivity (EC) maps at the Hardin county location with data from four different dates and created with three mapping techniques: (a) point maps with equally spaced contour intervals, (b) point maps with contour intervals having the same number of points within each class, and (c) interpolated maps created with kriging (exponential semivariogram models) and with equally spaced contour intervals.
