It is used to express soil physical, chemical and biological measurements on a volumetric basis for assessment of soil ecosystem services and thus comparisons between management systems. Soil BD and porosity (total volume of pore spaces) reflect the size, shape and arrangement of particles and voids (soil structure). Both BD and porosity give a good indication of the suitability for root growth and of soil permeability and are vitally important for the soil-plant-atmosphere system.

A spot height may be expressed as AOD for "above ordnance datum". Usually mean sea level (MSL) is used for the datum. Malin Ordnance Datum Derivation of vertical height or depth (in metres) In the Republic of Ireland, OD for the Ordnance Survey of Ireland is Malin Ordnance Datum: the Mean Sea Level (MSL) at Portmoor Pier, Malin Head, County Donegal, between 1960 and 1969. 5731 EPSG Projection 5731 - Malin Head height Metres Derivation of Altitude OD based on Mean Sea Level, Malin Head 1960-1969 ESRI Shapefile 10.x GIS Team Environmental Protection Agency +353-53-9160600 +353-53-9160601 PO Box 3000 Johnstown Castle Estate Wexford Co.

The boundaries are based on compiled, photogrammetric or modelled evidence and local details have been generalised to fit the map scale. Enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally mapped can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soil that could have been shown at a larger scale. The depicted soil boundaries and interpretations derived from them do not eliminate the need for onsite sampling, testing, and detailed study of specific sites for intensive uses. Thus, this map and its interpretations are intended for general planning and information purposes only. Users are responsible for the appropriate application of this map. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data. While every effort is made in preparing the dataset no responsibility is accepted by or on behalf of Teagasc or the Environmental Protection Agency for any errors, omissions or misleading information. Teagasc or The Environmental Protection Agency accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss or damage occasioned or claimed to have been occasioned, in part or in full, as a consequence of any person acting, or refraining from acting, as a result of a matter contained in this dataset or as a consequence of using this dataset for any purpose whatsoever. Soil formation is dependent upon geology, climate, vegetation, altitude, landform shape and finally management over time. The soil landscapes we see in Ireland today are a consequence of the changing climatic conditions over the last 100,000 years (with periods of glaciation, the last of which was 12,000 years ago) and the management of land by farmers. Using information about the geology, climate, landform and vegetation, this project has been able to develop the key relationships found between soils and these key factors in Ireland and uses it to predict areas of soils that had not been previously mapped in detail (i.e. by the original soil survey (An Foras Talúntais (AFT)) which took place between 1950s and 1990s and covered c. 44% of Ireland). This work was followed up by a 2.5-year field survey describing the soils found in previously unmapped areas. The final product is a national soils map at the 1:250,000 scale, derived from a unique combination of new and traditional methodologies and soils data from both the AFT and the SIS project; and an associated soil information system which will be available to all, along with associated derived soil property maps.
