The Map of Crops and Harvests of Spain at 1:50,000 scale of the years 1980-1990, generated by the former MAPA, corresponds to a national mapping of the uses and uses of the soil.
This map began in the 1970s and ended in the 90s, being a paper edition. Later it was digitised, being able to have this collection in digital format in 1992.
This mapping defines and describes the crops and soil harvests of the entire national territory, through the use of codes, which are grouped into uses and overloads.
The codes used are texts that have associated superscripts and subscripts, in order to accurately describe the culture represented. Thus, the sub-indices and superindices used are:
— Sub-indices and numerical superindices: percentages of land use and covered accommodation respectively.
— In forest masses you can also find the superindices “r” (repopulation), “mb” (low mountain), “lz” (Latizal) and “f” (fustal).
— In vineyard and olive grove we can find the superscript: “t” (transformation), “m” (table), “v” (green) and “a” (almazara)
— The superscript “*” indicates that there is a small percentage of species not included in the mosaic code or association indicated in the enclosure.
The crops and harvests specified on the map are grouped into the following uses:
1. CULTIVATED AREA
— Dried and irrigated Herbaceous Crops
— Forced crops and Huerta
— Dried and irrigated fruit
— Dry and irrigated vineyard
— Dried olive grove and irrigated
Meadows. Grasslands. Bushes
2. FOREST SPECIES
— Conifers
— Nurseries
— Leafy
3. UNPRODUCTIVE
— Unproductive
The coverage is polygonal and comes from the Directorate-General for Agriculture. It is projected at ETRS89.
The data is stored in ArcInfo’s SDE Feature Class and distributed in shp, E00, dxf and PDF.
