Soil map 1 : 50,000

The maps show the soil cover of the Czech Republic. They express the typological affiliation of the soil in the "Taxonomic classification system of soils of the Czech Republic" (Němeček et al., 2011), or the version for forest soils (Vokoun et al., 2002), i.e. soil type, subtype, soil variety, or subvariety. The data for the selected map sheets also contain data on the soil parent material in a classification based on the legend of the Geological Map of the Czech Republic 1:50,000, supplemented by classification codes (Schuler et al,. 2013).
This soil map on a scale of 1:50,000 is the most detailed soil map so far, which maps both agricultural and forest land together in the area of the entire territory of the Czech Republic (in process), in the same and up-to-date soil classification system. In the GIS environment, the maps are processed after the map sheets of the ZM50 division, so that they create a continuous thematic layer of the soil-typology map.
