National Soil Inventory
The National Soil Inventory (NSI) represents a point database collected on a 5km grid across Scotland. For each grid point (total = 3094), a range of site and soil characteristics is available. Points on a 10 km grid (total 770) include details of soils chemical analyses with physical and chemical details relevant to individual soil horizons rather than selected depths. Included within such analyses are trace metal elements.
