Title: Layers

Comments: The "awc_h", "awc_l" and "awc_r" tables are designed to facilitate thematic mapping. The tables are national in extent and can be used in conjunction with the GSM Version 0.1 grid to map soil available water capacity (awc). The "h", "l", and "r" correspond to "high", "low" and "representative" property values. The "l" represents the minimum low value of all the components within each map unit and is used as an approximate lower confidence limit estimate for the map unit at each depth. For the lower estimate above the representative value "r" (due to incomplete population of high and low values in STATSGO2, and anomalies in the spline), the lower estimate was set to null. The "h" represents the maximum value of all the components within each map unit and is used as an approximate upper confidence limit estimate for the map unit at each depth. For the upper estimate above the representative value "r" (due to incomplete population of high and low values in STATSGO2, and anomalies in the spline), the upper estimate was set to null. The tables can be attached to the raster map layer data using the common "mukey" for spatial mapping. This table represents available water capacity (awc) soil property. Each table contains 50 columns. <table> <tr><th>Field</th><th>Description</th></tr> <tr><td>mukey: </td><td>Map unit identification key</td></tr> <tr><td>tot_comps: </td><td>Total number of components within the map unit</td></tr><tr><td>awc_r0to5: </td><td>Value for representative AWC in the 0-5 cm depth interval</td></tr><tr><td>cntrb_awc_r0to5: </td><td>Percent (by area) of map unit used for weighted average calculation for 0-5 cm interval</td></tr><tr><td>null_pct_awc_r_0to5: </td><td>Percent (by area) of map unit that has missing data for 0-5 cm interval</td></tr><tr><td>misc_pct_awc_r_0to5: </td><td>Percent (by area) of map unit that is nonsoil material (miscellaneous) for 0-5 cm interval</td></tr><tr><td>avail_awc_r0to5: </td><td> Number of map unit components that are soil and not null for 0-5 cm interval</td></tr><tr><td>missing_awc_r0to5: </td><td>Number of map unit components that are nonsoil material or null for 0-5 cm interval</td></tr><tr><td>datatype_awc_r0to5: </td><td>The type of calculation used to find the value for the map unit (either WM, SC, or OA)</td></tr><tr><td>normawc_r0to5: </td><td>AWC in units of mm per mm (this column only exists for awc)</td></tr></table> Columns "mukey" and "tot_comps" are unique. The remaining columns are repeated for each depth: 5to15, 15to30, 30to60, 60to100, 100to200. The "datatype" column is populated with three options: <ul><li>WM - a weighted average was calculated for more than one available component within a map unit.</li> <li>SC - for map units with only one component.</li> <li>OA - for map units with more than one component, but only one component is available (not null and not miscellaneous).</li></ul> <p> Horizon values for each component (soil type) were selected only where the data were not missing and the component kind was not ‘Miscellaneous area’. Miscellaneous areas were excluded since they are dominantly occupied by non-soil materials. Major miscellaneous areas include badlands, beaches, chutes, cinder lands, dams, dumps, dune lands, glaciers, gullied land, lava flows, mined lands, oil-waste land, pits, playas, riverwash, rock outcrop, rubble land, slickens, urban land and water. Detailed descriptions of each category can be found in the National Soil Survey Handbook, Part 627 - Legend Development and Data Collection, Subpart B - 627.10 (U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service. National soil survey handbook, title 430-VI [http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/ref/?cid=nrcs142p2_054242 (accessed 14 February 2018)]. The values for each soil type profile were fit with an equal-area continuous smoothing spline. (Bishop et al., 1999; Odgers et al., 2012) with a smoothing parameter, lambda, set at 0.1 for all properties. The generated spline was used to set property estimates at the GlobalSoilMap standard depth intervals (0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm, and 100-200 cm (GlobalSoilMap, 2012)). For instances where splined values exceeded the lower and upper bounds the property estimate was “capped” at the nearest sensible bound.</p> <p> The representative standard depth estimates for each profile (i.e. component or soil type), were weighted within each map unit (i.e. group of components mapped together), using the component percentage by area of the map unit as the weights. Miscellaneous areas (non-soil materials) did not contribute to the map unit weighted average so the weighted mean represents only the soils in each map unit. The remaining soil components were scaled to represent 100% of the map unit and weighted accordingly in the calculation of the map unit average. Values for map units dominated by non-soil material, or with more than 50% as ‘Miscellaneous area’ were set to null. </p> <p><strong>Use Limitations: </strong>This dataset is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool in permitting or siting decisions, but may be used as a reference source.
