Fig. 8. Performance of three interpolation methods based on the kriging algorithm for the interpolation of normal score (ns)transformed soil chemical properties. OKi, ordinary kriging with an isotropic variogram model; OKa, OK with an anisotropic variogram model; and SKlm, simple kriging with local varying means.
