Map of soil construction in the Netherlands 1:50.000 under INSPIRE

This dataset, from 2006, provides information about the soil-physical stratification of the soil up to about 1.20 meters depth. There are 23 different units. Each unit represents a soil profile with a specific layering. Soil-physical characteristics of the Staring series can be linked to the individual soil layers in the soil profile. The location of these units is derived from the Soil Map of the Netherlands, scale 1: 50.000. For this purpose, the units of the soil map are clustered to the 23 different soil-physical units. The classification was initially developed in 1985 on the basis of the units of the Soil Map of the Netherlands, scale 1: 250,000 for the so-called PAWN studies (Policy Analysis for the Water Management of the Netherlands). The bottom map is issued under INSPIRE with two attributes: the geometry and the soil-physical unit.
