The data represents the relative expense of farm chemicals (herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) in the agricultural area of Alberta. It is an estimate of the degree to which crop production agriculture may contribute to surface or groundwater contamination.Agriculture production that makes greater use of herbicides, insecticides and pesticides in generally considered more intensive. Presenting the relative farm chemical expenses by SLC polygons reveals where the most intensive agricultural production in the province occurs. Chemical use is part of an equation to determine a measure of surface water quality risk. If an area is known to have certain risk factors that would affect not only surface, but groundwater quality as well, a higher chemical expense index ranking in that same area may be of concern. Where risks of surface or groundwater contamination exist, environmental farm planning can help to minimize them.

The data represents the relative cultivation intensity in the agricultural area of Alberta. Cultivation intensity refers to the frequency of cultivation associated with the following management systems: no till, conventional tillage and summerfallow. It is an estimate of the degree to which cultivation contributes to wind and water erosion. The classes shown on the map are ranked between 0 (lowest) and 1 (highest).This map was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

This map displays an assessment of groundwater quality risk for the agricultural area of Alberta. Agricultural activities that may have an impact on groundwater quality include livestock, crop production and agrochemical use. These activities along with the physical characteristics represented by aquifer vulnerability and available moisture were combined to produce this map. The classes shown on the map were ranked from 0 (lowest risk) to 1 (highest risk). This resource was created in 2005 using ArcGIS.

This map displays an assessment of surface water quality risk for the agricultural area of Alberta. Agricultural activities that may have an impact on surface water quality, including livestock, crop production and agrochemical use, were identified and used to produce this map. The classes shown on the map were ranked from 0 (lowest risk) to 1 (highest risk).This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

This map displays the percentage of organic matter in the surface layer of cultivated soils in the agricultural region of Alberta. Soil organic matter (SOM) is derived primarily from the decomposition of plant biomass. SOM improves both the physical and chemical properties of soil and has beneficial effects on agricultural soil quality. SOM is reported on the map as a percentage using the following classes: less than 2 (very low), 2 to 4 (low), 4 to 6 (medium), 6 to 8 (high) and greater than 8 (very high).This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

농림축산식품부에서 제공하는 유기농업자재 자금 집행 정보에 대한 데이터로 사업년도별 집행 지방비 시군 금액 등의 통계 정보를 제공합니다.

해당 데이터는 농림축산식품부 토양개량제 월별 공급 통계로, 토양개량제를 신청한 농가별 월별 신청량을 기반으로 집계된 자료입니다. 본 자료는 토양개량제 보급 현황과 농가별 수요 패턴을 분석하는 데 유용하며, 정책적으로는 지역별 공급 계획 수립, 자원 배분의 효율화, 토양 관리 및 환경 개선 정책 마련에 중요한 근거자료로 활용될 수 있습니다. 특히 농업 생산성 향상과 토양 비옥도 유지·개선 측면에서 토양개량제 수급의 균형 여부를 점검할 수 있으며, 공급량과 실제 농가의 사용량 간의 차이를 분석하여 제도 개선에도 기여할 수 있습니다. 다만, 이 데이터는 개인정보 및 민감정보가 포함되어 있어 일부 정보만 제공되므로 사용에 유의 부탁드립니다.

The data represents the occurrence of saline soils in the agricultural area of Alberta. A Saline Soils is a non-alkali (pH less than 8.5 and exchangeable-sodium less than 15%) soil containing soluble salts in great enough quantities that they interfere with the growth of most crop plants. This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.

해당 데이터는 농지를 전용함에 따라 부과되는 농지의 조성 및 이용에 관한 법률에 따른 농지조성비 또는 농지법에 따른 대체농지조성비의 제곱미터 당 부과 단가 연혁을 정리한 자료로, 제공 목록으로는 대체농지조성비, 농지조성비 등을 포함하고 있습니다. 이를 통해 농지 전용과 관련된 행정 업무를 수행하는 지자체와 정책 담당자에게 중요한 참고자료가 되며, 제도의 운영 과정에서 나타난 부담 수준의 변화를 평가하고 제도 개선의 근거로 활용될 수 있습니다. 또한 연구자와 관계 기관에는 농지 보전 정책의 실효성을 분석하고, 토지 이용 및 농업 정책 전반의 변화 추세를 검토하는 실증 데이터로 의미가 있습니다. 나아가 본 자료는 농지 보전과 효율적 이용의 균형을 도모하고, 제도 운영의 투명성과 합리성을 높이는 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있습니다.

This map displays the distribution of organic soils in the agricultural region of Alberta. Organic soils consist of layers of material with greater than 30 percent organic matter and a total thickness of greater than 40 cm. Organic soils are generally saturated with water for most of the year unless drained. Saturation inhibits decomposition and encourages continued accumulation of organic material. Drainage of these soils can result in a rapid increase in decomposition and a reduction in the thickness of the organic material. This resource was created in 2002 using ArcGIS.
