Main content:

A bitmapped map containing information on territories with nonsaline soils.

Classifier precision:

1 on the map stands for nonsaline soils while 0 - stands for saline soils.

Map compilation procedure:

The nonsaline soils 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.
