Soil Map

SOIL.DXF is a soil map showing the soilscapes of the Quijos survey area. The soilscapes are indicated as closed AutoCAD polylines, with each soilscape on a separate layer. AutoCAD drawing units are meters. The layers and their contents are as follows:

• 2_1 (color 82) -- Soilscape 2.1: Medium and low flanks of the Cordillera Oriental, moderate relief, Typic Hydrandepts
• 2_2 (color 70) -- Soilscape 2.2: Medium and low flanks of the Cordillera Oriental, montainous relief, Lithic Hydrandepts
• 3_1 (color 164) -- Soilscape 3.1: Quijos River Canyon, high plains, Typic Hydrandepts
• 3_2 (color 160) -- Soilscape 3.2: Quijos River canyon, rocky outcrops, no soil
• 4_2 (color 10) -- Soilscape 4.2: Cosanga Corridor, low hilly relief, Paralithic Hydrandepts
• 5_1 (color 220) -- Soilscape 5.1: Depositional environment, floodplains, Fluvalentic Hydrandepts
• 5_2 (color 232) -- Soilscape 5.2: Depositional environment, high alluvial terraces, Entic Hydrandepts
• 5_3 (color 244) -- Soilscape 5.3: Depositional environment, eject cones, Skeletal Hydrandepts
• 6_1 (color 140) -- Soilscape 6.1: Denudative environment, colluvial formations, Skeletal Hydrandepts
• 6_2 (color 130) -- Soilscape 6.2: Denudative environment, colluvio-alluvial formations, Skeletal Hydrandepts
