Interactive Soil Map of Ireland
Irish Soil Information System
Critical to the successful management of soil resources is knowledge on the location of different soils, and their associated properties. The Irish Soil Information System national soil map provides both spatial and quantitative information on soil types and properties across the country. At a scale of 1:250,000, this interactive map was created using a unique combination of new and traditional methodologies and brings together soils data from both the An Foras Talúntais survey and the Irish Soil
Information System project.
This predictive soil map of Ireland consists of 58 associations (excluding areas of alluvium, peat, urban, rock or marsh) that are made up from 213 soil series. The information system that supports the map has been designed to hold the complete set of information deriving both from the Irish Soil Information System field programme, as well as the previously existing legacy soils information available for Ireland.
