- Abstract
- This layer consists of a polygon layer at 1:250,000 scale (WI_SoilAssociations_2008"/"sasppoly") used in preparing the GCSM, and containing information on Wisconsin soils. This layer includes data about soil associations. By definition, a soil association is a landscape that has a distinctive proportional pattern of soils; it normally consists of one or more major soils and at least one minor soil, and is named for the major soil. The soil associations layer was digitized from the 1:250,000-scale compilation sheets of a 1968 soils map of Wisconsin (Hole et. al). The soil associations in this coverage were subsequently grouped into 4 "soil characteristics" categories in the layer "WI_SoilCharacteristics_2008"/"schppoly", for use in the GCSM. For the purposes of the GCSM, soil depth was considered to extend from the land surface to 5 feet below the land surface.
- Purpose
- This layer is used to identify soil association (a landscape that has a distinctive proportional pattern of soils) in Wisconsin.
