Description :
This paper describes a methodology for transformation of the Danish Soil Classification's maps to land assessment maps based on a calculation of the irrigation need on various soil types and based on the land values obtained by the work of the 1949 Land Assessment Commission. A detailed description of the 2 soil investigations used for the construction of new land assessment maps is given, and as an example the transformation of the Danish Soil Classification's map to a land assessment map is demonstrated for the municipality of Tørring/Uldum in Eastern Jutland.
