Examples of maps of soil properties produced by disaggregation of legacy soil polygons using a weighted average approach where the weights are based on fuzzy likelihood values for landform classes with a representative soil associated with each landform class.

Polygon Disaggregation Based on Fuzzy Likelihood Values• New Output

Option– Writes out all

fuzzy likelihood values• For every grid cell• For all defined

classes– Classes can vary

by cell• Every cell can

have different numbers and types of fuzzy classes

• Controlled by a Map Zone identifier

• Rules by Map_Zone

Computes Soil Property Values by Weighted Average Method of Zhu (1996)

pH

Percent Sand

Percent Silt

Percent Clay

Percent Gravel
