Soil type has ramifications for engineering and construction activities, natural hazards such as landslides, agricultural productivity, the distribution of native plant and animal life and hydrologic and other physical processes. Soil types in the context of climate and terrain can be used as a general indicator of engineering constraints, agriculture suitability, biological productivity and the natural distribution of plants and animals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='text-align:left; margin:0px; padding:0px;'&gt;&lt;font size='4'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='color:rgb(76, 76, 76);'&gt;&lt;font size='4'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dataset Summary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='color:rgb(76, 76, 76);'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Phenomenon Mapped:&lt;/b&gt; Ready-to-use project packages with over 170 attributes derived from the SSURGO dataset, split up by HUC8s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style='color:rgb(76, 76, 76);'&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Geographic Extent:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style='color:rgb(77, 77, 77);'&gt;The dataset covers the 48 contiguous United States plus Hawaii and portions of Alaska.

Because some map units have a null value for soil order, a custom script was used to populate this field using the Component Name (compname) and Map Unit Name (muname) fields. This field was created using the dominant soil order of each map unit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Esri Symbology&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horizon Table&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Each map unit polygon has one or more components and each component has one or more layers known as horizons. To incorporate this field from the Horizon table into the attributes for this layer, a custom script was used to first calculate the mean value weighted by thickness of the horizon for each component and then a mean value of components weighted by the Component Percentage Representative Value field for each map unit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;K-Factor Rock Free&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Esri Soil Order&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These fields were calculated from the Component table using a model that included the Pivot Table Tool, the Summarize Tool and a custom script. The first 11 fields provide the sum of Component Percentage Representative Value for each soil order for each map unit. The Soil Order Dominant Condition field was calculated by selecting the highest value in the preceding 11 soil order fields. In the case of tied values the component with the lowest average slope value (slope_r) was selected. If both soil order and slope were tied the first value in the table was selected.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Alfisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Andisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Aridisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Entisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Gelisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Histosols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Inceptisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Mollisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Spodosols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Ultisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Percent Vertisols&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Soil Order - Dominant Condition&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Esri Popup String&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This field contains a text string calculated by Esri that is used to create a basic pop-up using some of the more popular SSURGO attributes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Map Unit Key&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Map Unit Key field is found throughout SSURGO and provides a primary link between the geographic and tabular data.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Map Unit Key&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Map Unit Crop Yield Table&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Map Unit Crop Yield Table has a 1:1 relationship with the map unit polygons. Selected attributes from this table were extracted and joined to the table using the Map Unit Key field. All values are in Bushels/Acre except for cotton which is in pounds/acre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Corn – nonirrigated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Corn – irrigated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cotton – nonirrigated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cotton – irrigated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Soybeans – nonirrigated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Soybeans – irrigated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wheat – nonirrigated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Wheat – irrigated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Value Added Look Up Table (gSSURGO)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The fields in this table have a 1:1 relationship with the map unit polygons and were joined to the table using the Map Unit Key field. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first 5 fields from this table provide access to the National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI) Version 3 - weighted average index for major components. NCCPI is a model that uses inherent soil properties, landscape features and climatic characteristics to assign ratings for dry-land commodity crops. This index ranks soil productivity from 0.1-1.0 with more productive soils having higher values. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;NCCPIv3 – Corn&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;NCCPIv3 – Soy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;NCCPIv3 – Cotton&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;NCCPIv3 – Small Grains&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;NCCPIv3 – All&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Other fields from the Value Added Look Up Table:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Root Zone Depth – earthy major components - cm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Root Zone Available Water Storage – earthy major components - mm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Droughty Soil Landscapes – earthy major components - this attribute uses a value of 1 for drought vulnerable soils and 0 for non‐ droughty soils.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Potential Wetland Soil Landscapes - the proportion of the map unit that is potentially a wetland.
