Plantlife International: Broad Soil Types (3rd Party data)
Plantlife International collects and holds a large quantity of data on plants and habitats of conservation importance throughout the UK from a network of individuals and organisations. This data collations is owned by Plantlife International and has been licence to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for use. Dominant soil types have been determined to ascertain the Important Arable Plant Area (IAPA) score for each tetrad used in the Welsh Important Arable Plant Area (IAPA) Status dataset.

Dominant soil type has been determined by Plantlife International for Wales using LandIS (2014) NATMAP - National Soil Map of England and Wales. There are three very broad soil categories and so many different soil classifications fall within each category. There are also soils that straddle the boundary between two of the soil broad categories and soils that do not fall into any of the broad categories. The three broad categories are: Sand and Freely Draining Acid Soils: Typical sand-pararendzinas / Typical sandy-gley soils / Typical argillic brown earths (all other types). Clays: Cambic stagnogley soils / Typical alluvial gley soils /Pelo-stagnogley soils Chalk and limestone derived soils: Brown earths over limestone bedrock Other: Disturbed soils (i.e. from disused mining operations) / Raw oligo-amorphous peat soils / Humus-ironpan stagnopodzols
