The New Zealand Fundamental Soil Layer originates from a relational join of features from two databases: the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI), and the National Soils Database (NSD). The NZLRI is a national polygon database of physical land resource information, including a soil unit. Soil is one in an inventory of five physical factors...

This layer comes from the Threatened Environment Classification (TEC) version 2012, which is a source of national scale background information on New Zealand's land environments. Specifically, it shows how much native (indigenous) vegetation remains within land environments, and how past vegetation loss and legal protection are distributed across New...

The New Zealand Land Cover Database (LCDB) is a multi-temporal digital thematic map of land cover and land use. Land cover at each of four periods; summer 1996/97, summer 2001/02, summer 2008/09, and summer 20012/13, is both delineated and classified. The land cover classification evolved over the first three periods but compatibility has been maintained....

This database describes the soils of the pastoral and cropping land of Canterbury, from the Kowhai River in the north to the Rangitata River in the south, but not including Banks Peninsula. The original survey was mapped as a reconnaissance soil survey at 2 miles to the inch. These original soil boundaries have been very substantially revised and...

Crosby et al. (1976) subdivided the New Zealand mainland (North, South, and Stewart Islands, plus nearby inshore islands) into 29 approximately equalsized areas, and defined two-letter codes for each. The codes and boundary definitions for these areas were provided on a separate, large map enclosed with the journal issue. These areas were modified from...

The dataset contains polygons of soils of part Raglan County mapped at 1:63360. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soil are included.

The New Zealand Land Cover Database (LCDB) is a multi-temporal, thematic classification of New Zealand's land cover. It contains 33 mainland classes (35 including the offshore Chatham Islands). The classification has evolved from version to version but backward compatibility has been maintained. Geographic features are described by a polygon boundary, a...

This data set (LCDB v4.0 Change) allows users to track changes back to earlier versions, and to reconcile derived quantities, such as the total area of a class in a region, to those derived from earlier LCDB versions. Additionally the authority (and date) for mapping the change is recorded in this database where such a change has been manually mapped.

This soil map for Christchurch City was compiled at 1:25,000 scale from several published and unpublished soil maps held by Landcare Research including: Christchurch Region NZ Soil Survey Report 16 1:63 360 Part Paparua County NZ Soil Bureau Bulletin 34 1:31 860 Part Port Hills NZ Soil Bureau Bulletin 35 1:31 860 Heathcote County NZ Soil Bureau Report 1...

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Hamilton City mapped at 1:20 000. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soil are included.

This layer has been updated, the new version can be found here: FSL New Zealand Soil Classification v1.1 - Informatics Team | | Environment and Land GIS | LRIS Portal (scinfo.org.nz) The soil fundamental data layers (FDLs) contain spatial information for 16 key attributes, each of which is measurable (i.e. is given a numeric value rather than being...

This layer shows the coverage of S-map polygons, labelled with their Soil mapunit – a unique identifier of one or more polygons with the same soil information. The S-map primary map layer of soil classes (i.e. delineated areas that are labelled with the soil family names) is no longer freely available to commercial users. Access to this data and...

The NZLRI is a spatial database containing about 100,000 polygons (map units), each of which describes a parcel of land in terms of five characteristics or attributes (rock, soil, slope, erosion, vegetation). This layer represents a GIS dissolve on the slope attribute of the NZLRI.

Soil texture is the dominant texture class in the control zone (usually the upper 60 cm) of the soil profile as defined in Webb & Lilburne (2011). This layer is a "dissolved" representation of the soil texture attribute for S-map, where neighbouring S-map polygons have been combined if they have the same value of the attribute. Refer to document Smap...

The NZLRI is a spatial database containing about 100,000 polygons (map units), each of which describes a parcel of land in terms of five characteristics or attributes (rock, soil, slope, erosion, vegetation). This layer represents a GIS dissolve on the vegetation attributes of the NZLRI.

Soil depth is defined according to a traditional agronomic concept of soil depth (Webb & Lilburne 2011). Note that while the layer defining soil depth may cause some restriction in root penetration, it does not necessarily define the base of the potential rooting depth. This layer is a "dissolved" representation of the soil depth attribute for S-map...
