“…After the development of DSM as a research field, various studies used (geo-)statistical methods to map qualitative and quantitative soil properties using the data collected by StiBoKa (Brus and Heuvelink, 2007;Brus et al, 2009;Kempen et al, 2014;van den Berg et al, 2017;Helfenstein et al, 2022Helfenstein et al, , 2024c. Several regions of the national soil map have since been updated (Kempen et al, 2009(Kempen et al, , 2011(Kempen et al, , 2012ade Vries et al, 2014de Vries et al, , 2017de Vries et al, , 2018Brouwer et al, 2018;Walvoort, 2019, 2020;Brouwer et al, 2021Brouwer et al, , 2023 and a variety of thematic maps were derived, such as a map of re-worked soils (Brouwer and van der Werff, 2012), a peat thickness map (Brouwer et al, 2018), a map of soil landscapes Maas, 2022, 2023) and the soil physical units map of the Netherlands (BOFEK; Heinen et al, 2022).…”
