Name: Corn/Soybeans on Flat Slopes (Percent Slope)
Display Field:
Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Corn and Soybean (includes double-cropped classes e.g. "Dbl Crop Oats/Corn", Sweet Corn, Popcorn, and Ornamental Corn) fields at least 5 acres in size from the 2013 Cropland Data Layer within the Mississippi River Basin with an average slope of 2% or less. Class value 1 = slopes less than or equal to 0.5%; Class value 2 = slopes greater than 0.5% and less than or equal to 1% ; Class value 3 = slopes greater than 1% and less than or equal to 2%.Slope derived from 30-m NED DEM.

Description: Mississippi River Basin Gridded SSURGO mapunits where "drclassdcd" (Drainage Class - Dominant Condition) is either somewhat poorly, poorly, or very poorly drained.

Name: Percent Soil Organic Matter (At Least 2%; 0-20cm Horizon)
Display Field:
Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Percent Organic Matter - Mississippi River Basin Gridded SSURGO mapunits with at least 2% organic matter (generalized calculation using soil organic carbon values in the 0-20 cm horizon; assuming that bulk density is 1.4 g/cubic meter and that organic matter is 58% carbon). These mapunits are considered potentially suitable for drainage water managment opportunities such as saturated buffer strips.
