The grid is called MUID and has STATSGO (U.S. Department\nof Agriculture, 1994) soil mapping unit identifiers gridded on a\n1-kilometer resolution for the conterminous United States. The INFO\ntables have soil characteristics data in them. The ITEMS in the tables\nare weighted average values for several soil characteristics in the\nSTATSGO data base. The weighted average values were computed by\naggregating the soil layers and components in the data base.\n\t\t\nThe INFO tables are called MUID.LAYER, MUID.COMP, MUID.KFACT,\nMUID.TFACT, and MUID.WEG. The INFO tables can be related or joined to\nthe MUID grid or to individual State coverages (grids or polygons) of\nMUIDs. Joining or relating the tables to the MUID grid creates\n1-kilometer resolution grids of the soil characteristics for the\nconterminous United States.\n\t\t\nThe soil characteristics in MUID.LAYER are permeability (PERML and\nPERMH in the STATSGO data base), available water capacity (AWCL and\nAWCH), bulk density (BDL and BDH), and organic matter (OML and\nOMH). The soil characteristics in MUID.COMP are slope (SLOPEL and\nSLOPEH), depth to seasonally high water table (WTDEPL and WTDEPH), and\ndepth to bedrock (ROCKDEPL and ROCKDEPH). The soil characteristic in\nMUID.KFACT is the soil erodibility factor (KFACT), the soil\ncharacteristic in MUID.TFACT is the soil loss tolerance factor\n(TFACT), and the soil characteristic in MUID.WEG is the wind erosion\ngroup (WEG).\n\t\t\nThe MUID grid and INFO tables were created with a set of arc macro\nlanguage (aml) and Fortran programs.
