11327 SScode20m Soil survey code at 20 m scale for soil classification Code for soil type as determined by the Soil Survey (see refs) this code is made up of three parts: first soil type; second %slope; and third amount of rock.

We have converted this to number; number; number for ease of analysis. See Variables Sscode soil; sscode %slope and Sscode rock below for a definition for each of the three numbers in the code.Soil survey gave 23 different codes for soil classification but on the 20 x 20 m quadrat scale there are only 22 different categories at this scale. dimensionless
