Cover Story: This review article, with its principal basis in French research, describes data, tools and methods that use remote sensing (RS) to support the spatial predictions of soil properties, and discusses their pros and cons. The review demonstrates that RS data are frequently used in soil mapping, (i) by considering them as a substitute for analytical measurements (left part of the graph), or (ii) by considering them as covariates related to the controlling factors of soil formation and evolution used in digital soil mapping (DSM) approaches (right part of the graph). It further highlights the great potential of RS imagery to improve DSM, providing an overview of the primary challenges and prospects related to DSM and future RS sensors. The discussion opens up broad prospects for the use of RS for DSM and natural resource monitoring. View this paper
