This site includes maps of "Parent Material Calcareous Class". In addition, surface geology maps which showed the occurrence of limestones and dolomites were used for areas which were too rocky to have soils data (see Appendix C for references). These categories were compared with existing vegetation maps (and areas where known vegetation types conflicted with the mapped substrate were changed to match the substrate type indicated by the vegetation.</DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type definition source:</B></FONT></DT> <DD>Landscape codes were derived from the "integrated landscape unit map" (ILUM) code (see metadata for vegetation mapping).</DD> </DL> </DD> <BR /> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute label:</B></FONT> FID</DT> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute definition:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">Internal feature number.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute definition source:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">ESRI</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute domain values:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Unrepresentable domain:</B></FONT></DT> <DD>Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.</DD> <BR /><BR /> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute label:</B></FONT> Shape</DT> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute definition:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">Feature geometry.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute definition source:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">ESRI</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute domain values:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Unrepresentable domain:</B></FONT></DT> <DD>Coordinates defining the features.</DD> <BR /><BR /> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute label:</B></FONT> Id</DT> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute definition:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original"></PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute definition source:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original"></PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <BR /><DT><FONT color="#006400">*</FONT><FONT color="#006400"><B>Attribute type:</B></FONT> Number</DT> <DT><FONT color="#006400">*</FONT><FONT color="#006400"><B>Attribute width:</B></FONT> 6</DT> <BR /><BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute domain values:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Unrepresentable domain:</B></FONT></DT> <DD></DD> <BR /><BR /> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Detailed description:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type label:</B></FONT> Greenland</DT> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type definition:</B></FONT></DT> <DD>The Greenland substrate types were based on the ILUM types, as mapped by F.J.A.

There was also a substrate category which distinguished saline polygons (see Russia vegetatio mapping). In addition, the lithology of the polygons, based on maps of surface geology (Ganeshin et al. 1976) and bedrock geology (Nalivkin et al. 1966), was used. The bedrock geology map was used to distinguish regions with karst-able rocks, especially in areas without a thick cover of loose Quaternary sediment. Karst areas were classified as circumneutral. The substrate mapping was closely proofed by the Russian mappers in during M. Raynolds' visit to Moscow in October 2002.</DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type definition source:</B></FONT></DT> <DD>The Russian mappers provided "landschaft" (landscape) codes for each of their polygons. These were based largely on existing landscape maps (Gudilin 1980). The polygons were grouped into landscape units for the CAVM based on the description of the "landschaft" codes. Riparian areas were not mapped separately under the Russian "landschaft" approach, so polygons with riparian vegetation codes ("veget-id") were coded as riparian landscape. This proved to be ineffective - the definition of riparian area was too inconsistent across Russia, and between Russia and other areas of the Arctic.</DD> </DL> </DD> <BR /> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#006400"><B>Attribute type:</B></FONT> </DT> <BR /><BR /></DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Attribute:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#006400"><B>Attribute width:</B></FONT> </DT> <BR /><BR /></DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Detailed description:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type label:</B></FONT> United States</DT> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Entity type definition:</B></FONT></DT> <DD>Substrate chemistry from the United States was based on surface and bedrock geology maps of Alaska (Beikman 1980, Karlstrom 1964, Williams et al. 1977), and experience based on years of field work by D.A.
