Options Attribute Name: This displays the representative texture class and modifier of the surface horizon. Texture is given in the standard terms used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These terms are defined according to ages of sand, silt, and clay in the fraction of the soil that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter. "Loam," for example, is soil that is 7 to 27 clay, 28 to 50 silt, and less than 52 sand. If the content of particles coarser than sand is 15 or more, an appropriate modifier is added, for example, Aggregation is the process by which a set of component attribute values is reduced to a single value to represent the map unit as a whole. A map unit is typically composed of one or more "components". A component is either some type of soil or some nonsoil entity, e.g., rock outcrop. The components in the map unit name represent the major soils within a map unit delineation. Minor components make up the balance of the map unit. Great differences in soil properties can occur between map unit components and within short distances. Minor components may be very different from the major components. Such differences could significantly affect use and management of the map unit. Minor components may or may not be documented in the database. The results of aggregation do not reflect the presence or absence of limitations of the components which are not listed in the database. An on-site investigation is required to identify the location of individual map unit components. For each of a map unit's components, a corresponding composition is recorded. A composition of 60 indicates that the corresponding component typically makes up approximately 60% of the map unit. Percent composition is a critical factor in some, but not all, aggregation methods. For the attribute being aggregated, the first step of the aggregation process is to derive one attribute value for each of a map unit's components. From this set of component attributes, the next step of the aggregation process derives a single value that represents the map unit as a whole. Once a single value for each map unit is derived, a thematic map for soil map units can be generated. Aggregation must be done because, on any soil map, map units are delineated but components are not. The aggregation method "Dominant Condition" first groups like attribute values for the components in a map unit. For each group, composition is set to the sum of the composition of all components participating in that group. These groups now represent "conditions" rather than components. The attribute value associated with the group with the highest cumulative composition is returned. If more than one group shares the highest cumulative composition, the corresponding "tie-break" rule determines which value should be returned. The "tie-break" rule indicates whether the lower or higher group value should be returned in the case of a composition tie. The result returned by this aggregation method represents the dominant condition throughout the map unit only when no tie has occurred. The tie-break rule indicates which value should be selected from a set of multiple candidate values, or which value should be selected in the event of a composition tie. Page 6 of 6
