- Abstract
- Soils is a polygon theme representing soil types worldwide.
- Purpose
- For educational, non-commercial purposes. This dataset is appropriate for use in a GIS.
- Supplemental Information
- Soil is a surface layer of the land that is formed by the influence of vegetation, animals, organic residues, solar radiation, and atmospheric precipitation on rocks. Soil is central to a natural landscape and its geochemical system because soil is related to all other landscape systems, such as the cycles of water, air, and other geochemicals. Soil accumulates technogenic substances delivered through precipitation, both liquid and solid. Such substances include industrial, communal, and agricultural wastes, and toxic microelements contained in fertilizers and chemicals. The soil maps show (1) the soil cover of the continents, (2) soil-bioclimatic regions of the world, and (3) the technogenic contamination hazard of soils including (a) soil exidation and resistance to acid threats, (b) pollution of soils by lead compounds, and (c) pollution of soils by selenium compounds. The soil distributions were based on the following concepts: (1) The bioclimatic latitudinal and altitudinal zonality of soils, (2) the facies and provinces of soils (due to climate and other features of atmospheric circulation), (3) the lithogenic diversity of soils within zones, facies and provinces, and (4) soil age (time causes different "maturity" of soil profiles, evolution variety of soil, and relict climatic and hydrologic features).
