Abstract:

This dataset is a digital representation of the County Soil Survey maps published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as the Soil Service Geographic (SSURGO) dataset.

Purpose:

For research of the digital representation of the County Soil Survey maps published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as the Soil Service Geographic (SSURGO) dataset.

Supplemental_Information:

Feature Type:POLYGON

COMP.DBF - (map unit component) - stores soil component information COMPYD.DBF- (component crop yield)- stores crop yield information for soil components

FOREST.DBF- (forest understory)- stores information for plant cover as forest understory for soil components

INTERP.DBF- (interpretation)- stores soil interpretation ratings (both limitation ratings and suitability ratings) for soil components

LAYER.DBF- (soil layer)- stores characteristics of soil layers for soil components

MAPUNT.DBF- (map unit)- stores information that applies to all components of a soil map unit

WINDBK.DBF- (windbreak)- stores information on recommended windbreak plants for soil components

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: The data are designed to provided a guidance for the use of soils at the county level. The data contain both estimated and measured data on the physical and chemical soil properties and soil interpretations for engineering, water management, recreation, agronomic, woodland, range, and wildlife uses of the soil.
The SSOILS data base provides the most detailed level of information and was designed primarily for farm and ranch, landowner/user, township, county, or parish natural resource planning and management. Using the soil attributes, this data base serves as an excellent source for determining erodible areas and developing erosion control practices; reviewing site development proposals and land use potential; making land use assessments and chemical fate assessments; and identifying potential wetlands and sand and gravel aquifer areas.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

The spatial data base will be updated when the information becomes available.

The following ssoils attribute data files are incomplete.

compyd.dbf - MONROE woodld.dbf - MONROE woodmg.dbf - MONROE windbk.dbf - MONROE These tables were not developed for this county by the NRCS.
