The New Zealand Fundamental Soil Layer originates from a relational join of features from two databases: the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI), and the National Soils Database (NSD).

The NZLRI is a national polygon database of physical land resource information, including a soil unit. Soil is one in an inventory of five physical factors (including rock, slope, erosion, and vegetation) delineated by physiographic polygons at approximately 1:50,000 scale.

The NSD is a point database of soil physical, chemical, and mineralological characteristics for over 1500 soil profiles nationally.

A relational join between the NZLRI dominant soil and derivative tables from the NSD was the means by which 14 important soil attributes were attached to the NZLRI polygons. Some if these attributes originate from exact matches with NSD records, while others derive from matches to similar soils or professional estimates.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of part northern Matamata County mapped at 1:50 000. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soil are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Stratford County mapped at 1:63360. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soils are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Otaki District mapped at 1:15000. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soils are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Part Eltham County mapped at 1:50000. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soils are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of part Wanganui County mapped at 1:63360. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soils are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Rangitikei County, mapped at 1:63360. Existing soil data by Cowie et al. (1967) were incorporated into this survey.
The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soil are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Kaingaroa Plateau, mapped at 1:100 000. This dataset is compiled from earlier reports by Pullar (1980), Vucetich et al (1960), and Vucetich and Wells (1978).
The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soil are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of the coromandel. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soil are included.

The dataset contains polygons of soils of Palmerston North City and environs mapped at 1:15840. The attributes contain the soil series and the soil classification. No analytical properties of the soils are included.
