Main content:

A bitmapped map containing information about soil salinization degree.

Classifier precision:

Soil salinization degree is estimated by the four-point scale:
0 : nonsaline soil
1 : < 20 %
2 : 20-50 %
3 : > 50 %

Map compilation procedure:

The soil salinization degree layer has been obtained on the basis of the generalized Russian Soils Map (1993) (scale - 1: 4 000 000) which was combined with the database linking the skeleton of the soil types' map with the data about salinization degree of soils of the given type.

Data sources:

Russian Soils Map. scale 1 : 4 000 000. Roskartografiya Publishers, 1993.
