Short summary
Machine learning (ML) models have become key ingredients for digital soil mapping. To explain why the ML model is reliable, we apply a popular method from explainable artificial intelligence to the uncertainty prediction, with an application to the mapping of hydrocarbon pollutants on urban soil. We show the benefit of a joint analysis of the influence on the best estimate and the uncertainty to improve communication with end users and support decisions regarding covariates’ characterisation.
