Abstract

The terms of general soil classification systems serve within soil information systems not only as main criteria for storing and cross referencing data, The classes or taxons of soil classification may also be checked and improved by taxometric evaluations on data of the information system itself.

By means of a soil data bank of about 2000 profiles and 10,000 horizons, which were collected from West-German institutions of soil survey, results were evaluated by various taxometric methods.
