WRB- The development and application of a methodology to convert the Soil Map of Belgium following the Belgian Soil Classification System into a soil map following the World Reference Base (WRB)for Soil Resources Ghent University
Soils in Belgium were mapped between 1947 and 1991 and the maps were published at a 1:20 000 scale. Because the European Union requires now a harmonization of different national soil classification systems, the regional authorities of Flanders and Wallonia commissioned a study to elaborate a methodology for converting the legend of the Soil Map of Belgium into WRB, the common soil classification system within the EU.
