A New Soil Cartography at 1:100,000 scale for mainland Portugal

Abstract

Portugal does not have detailed and complete soil maps at a scale that is useful for environmental management. Existing data is: Inconsistent and spread across different organizations; Different in terms of scale, methods used and classification systems; Often old maps converted from paper to digital, with missing or incorrect information. The General Soil Map of Portugal (1:1,100,000) is still the only national tool for soil information. Create a new soil map for mainland Portugal at a 1:100,000 scale.
