Data TransformationData Transformation WRB and FAO90 transformations were done from WRB and FAO90 transformations were done from

beginning data for each polygon by looking at beginning data for each polygon by looking at codes for suitable soil major type according to codes for suitable soil major type according to instruction guide.instruction guide.

Parent Material (PAR-MAT-DOM and PAR-MAT-SEC) Parent Material (PAR-MAT-DOM and PAR-MAT-SEC) Codes also transformed from beginning data by Codes also transformed from beginning data by looking instruction guide.looking instruction guide.

PercentagesPercentages of clay silt and sand proportion of soil of clay silt and sand proportion of soil were transformed into texture code of Soil were transformed into texture code of Soil Geographical Database Version 4.0 for each Geographical Database Version 4.0 for each polygon by using texture class’s triangle. Because polygon by using texture class’s triangle. Because of there is no information about secondary texture of there is no information about secondary texture of surface, the value of TEXT-SRF-DOM also be of surface, the value of TEXT-SRF-DOM also be entered for TEXT-SRF-SEC. Same method was entered for TEXT-SRF-SEC. Same method was implemented for TEXT-SUB-DOM and TEXT-SUB-implemented for TEXT-SUB-DOM and TEXT-SUB-SEC again.SEC again.
