Description

Soil 1:200 000 (soil species) contains material produced during 2002-2009 throughout Finland. The material can be used in regional planning, national defence, soil mapping (EU) and various regional cooperation surveys. The mapping scale has been 1:50-00-1:200 000. 1:20 000, 1:50 000 and 1:100 000 soil base maps and 1:200 000 scale new production based on interpretation and mapping have been used for the compilation of medium-scale data. The minimum size of the soil pattern is usually about 6 ha, with the exception of glacier river formations, edge morene formations and domemorens, which are described in the data for areas larger than 2 ha. The covering peat layer is described in the new production as rowing (0-0.3 m peat), thin peat (0.3-0.6 m peat) and thick peat (over 0.6 m peat). Rowings, rocks and open rocks have been added to new production by generalising the corresponding figures in the National Land Survey of Finland’s terrain database. In connection with the new production, field observations have been collected about the thickness of the soil cover and the order of layers at a depth of 1 meter, as well as rock reveals. Soil 1:200 000 (soil species) data was subjected to a coordinate system conversion in March 2013. A transformation from the uniform coordinate system of the mapping system to the ETRS-TM35FIN coordinate system has been made using a triangular affine conversion.
