Description
The map thickness clay deck is also a product of the peat thickness map that was compiled by Alterra Wageningen UR (2016) on behalf of the province of South Holland. To determine the thickness of the clay surface, profile descriptions were used that were also used for the peat thickness map (De Vries, 1999). And if no profiles were known, ‘average’ layer thicknesses were retained in the Soil Map according to the legend. Because the Soil Map provides information up to 120 cm, clay packages that are thicker are classified in a separate class (>=120 cm). The thickness of the clay deck is important for the oxidation of underlying peat.
The thickness of the clay surface indicates the vulnerability of oxidation of underlying peat due to groundwater work, deep processing by (agricultural) machinery.
