Description Not Available
Soil information system in SOTER (soil and terrain
digital database) framework is developed for the IndoGangetic
Plains (IGP) and black soil regions (BSR) of
India with the help of information from 842 georeferenced
soil profiles including morphological, physical
and chemical properties of soils in addition to the site
characteristics and climatic information. The database
has information from 82 climatic stations that can be
linked with the other datasets. The information from
this organized database can be easily retrieved for use
and is compatible with the global database. The database
can be updated with recent and relevant data as
and when they are available. The database has many
applications such as inputs for refinement of agroecological
regions and sub-regions, studies on carbon
sequestration, land evaluation and land (crop) planning,
soil erosion, soil quality, carbon and crop modelling
and other climate change related research. This
warehouse of information in a structured framework
can be used as a data bank for posterity.
