Texture of the sols cultivésTexture of Cultivated Soils
This API provides data on the texture of cultivated soils in the Geneva territory, published by the Système d'information du territoire genevois (Geneva territorial information system). Soil texture is a fundamental characteristic used to assess soil quality, fertility, and suitability for cultivation. It is measured on the fine mineral fraction (particles under 2000 µm in diameter) and determined by classifying mineral soil particles by size. The dataset supports agricultural and land-use analysis at the local level within the canton of Geneva, Switzerland.La texture est une caractéristique fondamentale du Sol. Elle est essentiale pour l'évaluation de la qualité, de la fertilité et de l'aptitude culturale des sols. Elle est mesurée sur la fraction minérale fine (diamètre inférieur à 2000 µm) et se détermine en classant les particules minérales du sol…
