- Abstract
- This data set contains soil data for the country of India. Soil map of India includes all suborder, group and sub-group of soil, physiography, parent material, surface texture, soil depth, particle size and location attributes. Physiographical divisions based on National Bureau of Soil Survey Land Use Planning data from the National atlas of India published by the National Atlas Thematic Mapping Organisation, India, 1981.
- Purpose
- These data are intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.
