The soil complex database contains other descriptive information including slope class, Canada Land Inventory (CLI) ranking, stoniness, drainage class, texture etc. The CLI components of the data layer is generally intended to be used as a tool for broad land use planning decision making, and not necessarily for field-level management. For more information on the guidelines: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/landuse/classify.htm The soil complex information can also be applied to source water protection, nutrient management and soil erosion modeling.

The database consolidated the existing digital soil data mapped on a county basis into a digitally stitched and standardized product. </p><p></p><p>The soil survey data was mapped by a number of soil surveyors from the 1920s to the 1990s. The Soil Ontario product incoporates soil information from a variety of map scales. The project has brought the individual county or regional municipality surveys together in a digitally stitched database which reveals inconsistencies in soil data across county boundaries. Using GIS and NRVIS (Natural Resource Values Information System) a GIS Specialist matched the soil polygons that crossed boundaries using the best available resources.</p>
