Description

The DOMSUB file describes aspects of soil landscapes which had been described in version 1.1, but not carried forward into the Component / Carbon Layer Table structure.

Relationships

The proportion of the polygon occupied by the dominant and subdominant soil landscapes is identified. However, their location within the polygon is not defined.

Note that the dominant component for some polygons will be a non-soil (e.g. ice or rock). Analyses involving dominant soil components should take this fact into account.

Limitations

Origin

The DOMSUB file was extracted from the original dominant and subdominant files found in SLC version 1.1, in response to continuing requirements for pH and other attributes found only in these files. It was compiled from all existing 1.1 GIS coverages by intersecting those polygons with the more current version 2.2 polygons, and linking the version 2.2 polygon to the most dominant version 1.1 data.
