Short summary
This study analyzed the spatial variability of some soil properties in surface and subsurface soil layers of oil palm plantations in the south Goa district of Goa situated in western coastal area of India. The studied soil properties in surface and subsurface layers varied widely. Geostatistical analysis revealed different spatial distribution patterns for the soil properties. The generated prediction maps are useful for site-specific soil nutrient management in the area.
