Acid sulphate soil

Description

The data set ‘Sur sulphate soil’ shows where acidic sulphate soils may be found along the coasts of Västernorrland, Västerbotten and Norrbotten. The SGU report 2019:13 describes the soils in more detail, as well as how they are investigated and classified (Becher et al. 2019). The data set can be used to identify areas where it is: • important to avoid land use that could lead to negative impacts from acid sulphate soils or • appropriate to take measures to reduce the environmental load from the acid sulphate soils consists of a surface-covering modelling and collected point observations of acid sulphate soils. The modeled map shows the predicted distribution of acid sulphate soil. The point observations come from mapping and sampling of acid sulphate soil carried out in various projects at SGU. The classes of the surface-covering model are: • ‘Not acid sulphate soil’ • ‘Active acid sulphate soil on potential acid sulphate soil’ • ‘Potential acid sulphate soil’ In addition, for each class there is a separate grid showing how safe the classification is in each cell (from 0 to 100% probability).
