Digital soil maps can be used to show the soil’s ability to perform certain
functions. The digital soil mapping technique provides solutions for
estimating the soil properties and soil texture classes based on quantitative
soil-landscape models [2-3].
Introduction
In this study, a soil texture map with 30 m spatial resolution was produced
for an alluvial plain covering an area of approximately 10,000 ha. In the
study, 11 Topographic Environmental Variables obtained from NASA's
ASTER Global Digital Elevation model were used. Another input
parameters were clay, silt, and sand values determined for 91 soil samples
obtained through field studies.

As a result of the study, digital soil maps obtained with the random forest
algorithm show compatibility with the study area.
The idea that the Random Forest Algorithm is compatible with the
compliance problem in small data sets is controversial.
In this way, the evaluation of models produced in small data sets with
overfitting interpretation can be pedologically more effective.
