Description
Abstract

The NZLRI is a spatial database containing about 100,000 polygons (map units), each of which describes a parcel of land in terms of five characteristics or attributes (rock, soil, slope, erosion, vegetation). This layer reprersents a GIS dissolve on the land use capability attribute of the NZLRI.

Purpose

Inventory, land-use capability or legend information can be used in planning at national, regional, district and catchment levels.
