Custom Soil Resource Report <br />Soil Properties and Qualities <br />The Soil Properties and Qualities section includes various soil properties and qualities <br />displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in the selected <br />area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated by aggregating <br />the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This aggregation process <br />is defined for each property or quality. <br />Soil Qualities and Features <br />Soil qualities are behavior and performance attributes that are not directly measured, <br />but are inferred from observations of dynamic conditions and from soil properties. <br />Example soil qualities include natural drainage, and frost action. Soil features are <br />attributes that are not directly part of the soil. Example soil features include slope and <br />depth to restrictive layer. These features can greatly impact the use and management <br />of the soil. <br />Map Unit Name <br />A soil map unit is a collection of soil areas or nonsoil areas (miscellaneous areas) <br />delineated in a soil survey. Each map unit is given a name that uniquely identifies the <br />unit in a particular soil survey area. <br />27
