Soil depth is defined according to a traditional agronomic concept of soil depth (Webb &

Lilburne 2011). Note that while the layer defining soil depth may cause some restriction in root penetration, it does not necessarily define the base of the potential rooting depth. This layer is a "dissolved" representation of the soil depth attribute for S-map soils, where neighbouring S-map polygons have been combined if they have the same value of the attribute.
