| Description | Spatial soil data are among the top five types of data used by the Dutch government. Digital soil mapping (DSM) requires large sets of spatial data from variables such as climate, land use and management, relief and geology. However, time is often not represented sufficiently in soil mapping studies. In the Netherlands, a majority of soil information is several decades old and was collected as early as 1960. Land use and management has changed during this time frame, but until now, its impact on soil formation has not been modelled on a national scale. |
