Cranfield University: Land Information System (LandIS) Soil data (3rd Party Data)
Cranfield University maintains all the published and unpublished paper soil reports and maps for England and Wales, and market and lease a wide body of digital soil information. These datasets are held in the LandIS relational 'land information system' and National Soils Inventory (NSI) both are maintained by Cranfield.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) holds copies of these datasets which contain soil and soil-related information for Wales. These include both spatial and non spatial data as follows:
Spatial Data:
NATMAP vector: Derived from the National Soil Map, this displays the 300 mapped soil associations at a scale of 1:250,000 and urban soil linework to 1:50,000.
NSI - point set data covering England and Wales on a 5km grid providing detailed information including erosion, landuse, lithological information. Originally sampling from the 1980 with some re-sampling in the mid 1990s.
NSI Topsoil - includes information on Erosion, landuse and lithological information
NSI Profile - Detailed soil description and boundary information.
NSI Topsoil - Detailed measures of over 20 elements in the soil including pH
NSI Textures - soil texture
NSI Features - Provides depth data
Non spatial datasets:
HORIZON Fundamentals: Includes very detailed descriptions of the texture and other properties pertaining to the soils. This dataset provides the most detailed description of each horizon, or horizontal layer, determined for the soil series. It is based heavily on laboratory based analyses. -
HORIZON Hydraulics: Includes very detailed descriptions of the hydraulic properties pertaining to each layer, or horizon for each of the soils. This data is based heavily on laboratory based analyses. -
HORIZON Structure: This product contains soil series-layer properties which describe the respective structural properties of four successive nominal layers within each soil topsoil, upper subsoil, lower subsoil and substrate. -
NAPMAP Associations: List of soil series components of soil associations with proportions (%). - NATMAP Legend: Text descriptions of Geology, Soil and Site characteristics and of Cropping and Land Use for each map unit of the National Map. -
Soil Series Hydrology: This product contains many properties of soil series, most of which are hydrological in nature. - Soil Series Info: List of the basic soil types (or SERIES) which are components of the soil associations on the National Soil Map. - Soil Series Pesticide: Includes information useful for pesticide control such as pesticide leaching and runoff classes.
