The dataset contains polygons of soils of Palmerston North City and environs mapped at 1:15840. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soils are included.

DEPRECATED - THIS VERSION HAS BEEN SUPERCEDED BY VERSION 4.0 which is now available at https://lris.scinfo.org.nz/layer/412-lcdb-v40-land-cover-database-version-40/. The New Zealand Land Cover Database (LCDB) is a thematic classification of land cover. The current version LCDB3.3 contains 33 classes designed to be compatible with earlier LCDB versions....

The susceptibility of the soil to nitrogen leaching - the process whereby excess nutrients not held by the clay and organic matter complex of the soil leach beyond the root zone and contaminate groundwater. The susceptibility rating is based on the capacity of the soil to store water and the attenuation of nitrogen through denitrification associated with...

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

The New Zealand National Pasture Productivity map is a multi-temporal approach to estimating pasture (dry matter) yield in New Zealand's grassland area. The approach uses a model generated from collected historical records of pasture yield in 21 locations around New Zealand.It was hypothesised that yield of a paddock planted with pasture species would...

The New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI) is a national database of physical land resource information. It comprises two sets of data compiled using stereo aerial photography, published and unpublished reference material, and extensive field work: An inventory of five physical factors (rock type, soil, slope, present type and severity of erosion,...

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.
