Excerpt
This report describes the methods used to compile the Soil and Terrain (SOTER)
database of Nepal. The SOTER database is generalized from the original soils and
terrain digital database of Nepal at scale 1:50,000 (Rotmans 2004). The presented
SOTER database provides generalized information on landform and soil properties
at a scale 1:1 million. It consists of 17 SOTER units, characterized by 56
representative and four synthetic profiles for which there are no measured soil
data. The SOTER database includes also attribute data of 99 profiles initially
selected as references to soil components that have already a representative
profile.
