New Developments for Soilweb and Associated Online Soil Survey Apps.

There are a variety of ways in which people interact with soil survey information. Access to online soil survey data must be easy to use, fast and should accommodate how data is utilized by clientele. The California Soil Resource lab at UC Davis continues to evolve its online soil survey products for this purpose. SoilWeb is a compilation of apps that deliver soil survey information in a variety of ways. In collaboration with USDA-NRCS, the UC Davis Soil Resource Laboratory has created a package of web-based Apps that attempt to cater to the diverse ways in which users interact with soil survey data. These Apps are designed specifically to be fast, easy to use and educational. Here we communicate the design and operation of four new soil survey apps developed by the CA Soil Resource lab:  SoilWeb, SoilWeb Earth, CA Soil Properties App, and Soil Series Extent Explorer. All apps can be accessed at http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/soilweb-apps/.
