Analysis of the experience of improving cadastral maps by the formation of cadastral plots on the basis of the soil contours of large-scale soil maps

Abstract

Changes in the land legislation of Russia led to the development of cadastral mapping. On agricultural land, the type of land use is taken into account. Land assessment is carried out on the basis of soil differences (soil units). This opens up new possibilities for large-scale soil mapping. It is required that soil maps contain the necessary information to fully realize the potential of soil cartography in solving practical problems of accounting and valuation of agricultural lands. Most of the soil maps for agricultural land contain errors of the first and second kind of information theory and have problems with soil taxonomy, that is: missing contours, excessive information and erroneous soil diagnostics. This significantly complicates the practical application of soil maps. On the basis of soil maps, it is not possible to establish the boundaries of territories where a change in land use occurs due to soil processes. There are also certain diagnostic and taxonomic difficulties in using soil maps for practical needs. The development of soil cartography in the form of a technology for retrospective monitoring of the soil and land cover can significantly improve soil mapping and facilitate the transfer of soil contours to cadastral maps.
