 The document provides country guidelines for generating national soil nutrient maps using digital soil mapping (DSM) techniques. These maps are essential for optimizing fertilization, improving crop yields, and reducing nutrient misuse. It explains methodology steps for data collection, modeling, accuracy checks, and formatting outputs. The GSNmap will guide national policies on sustainable land and soil resource management and support global comparisons.
