Map of Subsoil Compaction Risk (partial cover)
URL: http://druid.hutton.ac.uk/arcgis/services/Hutton_SubsoilCompaction_Partial/MapServer/WmsServer?
The map shows the vulnerability of subsoils to compaction by traffic. It covers most of Scotland’s cultivated agricultural land area.The subsoil compaction risk gives information on the likelihood of the subsoil becoming compacted due to heavy machinery in four classes (Extremely vulnerable, Very vulnerable, Moderately vulnerable or Not particularly vulnerable) based on the soil texture and the amount of water left in the soil after any excess has drained away (known as field capacity).
