This dataset is aligned to a grid that with a dataset of soil attributes following GlobalSoilMap standards and specifications at specified depth increments extending over the agricultural portion of Canada.

The SLC map polygons were rasterized and combined with the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 90 metre grid to create the gridded raster dataset. Weighted averages of soil attribute properties are generated from existing soil horizon information to conform to recognized fixed depth increments. Soil attribute weighted means are calculated by using all the soil components based on their areal extent in each SLC polygon. The polygonal attribute weighted mean averages are spatially represented by the grid.
