NZSC Order is the first level of the NZ soil classification (Hewitt, 2010). This layer is a "dissolved" representation of the NZSC soil order attribute for S-map, where neighbouring S-map polygons have been combined if they have the same value of the attribute. Refer to document Smap Data Dictionary Dissolved Layers.pdf at https://lris.scinfo.org.nz/document/22129-smap-data-dictionary-dissolved-layers/
