Conclusion
In conclusion, different statistical methods are presently available for dealing with spatial
and temporal variability of soil properties and others may be developed in the future. The
behaviour of the phenomenon of interest (a priori knowledge), the objective of the research
work, and the nature of the available data should help the practitioner in the choice of the
adequate method(s).
