Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Catchments and Modified Routing of Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Estimated Percent Presence of the Soil Restrictive Layers on Agricultural Land

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This tabular data set represents the estimated percent presence of the soil restrictive layer on agricultural land compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data is the "Estimates of the Soil Restrictive Layer in the Upper 25, 35, 45, and 55 centimeters of agricultural land in the conterminous United States" produced by the United States Geological Survey (Nakagaki and others, 2012). Units are percent. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network characterizes cumulative upstream conditions. Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2018).
