National Soil Map of England and Wales - NATMAP
NATMAP 5000
5km x 5km gridded soils data
NATMAP 5000 is a soil series (soil type) based, 5km2 'gridded vector' spatial data set covering the whole of Wales and England. Natmap 5000 can be supplied as follows:
- NATMAP 5000 - relative % of soil series per polygon
Key Facts and Statistics about NATMAP 5000
- Simplified rendition of the national soil map.
- 297 soil series mapped as either dominant series per 25km2 or relative % of all soil series within the 25km2.
- The soil series percentages are calculated from the percentages of the NATMAP Map units (Soil associations) within the 25km2. This means that the percentages given for the soil series within the polygon should not be taken as precise for that square. They are however, the best estimate available.
Who and what is this useful for?
NATMAP 5000 is useful for anyone wanting a general understanding of the soil series within a region, for those who are not too concerned with actual line work, but only require the overall breakdown of soils within their area.
NATMAP 5000 is ideal for those who want a good impression of the soils covering all of England and Wales, but who have a tight budget.
How much does this product cost?
