Resource or Project Abstract
The Irish Soil Information System (ISIS) project was established in 2008, following a comprehensive inventory of Irish soil data compiled by Daly and Fealy (2007) which highlighted that soil data coverage of Ireland was incomplete in both detail and extent. The ISIS project is funded under the Environmental Protection Agency STRIVE Research Programme 2007-2013 and co-funded by Teagasc. It was led by Teagasc with the participation of researchers from Cranfield University (UK) and University College Dublin. The overall objective of the ISIS project was to conduct a programme of structured research into the national distribution of soil types and construct a soil map, at 1:250,000 scale, which will identify and describe the soils according to a harmonised national legend. This map is now available in digital format and forms the basis of a new soil information system for Ireland (http://isis.teagasc.ie).
