GIS-Based Zhejiang Province Red Soil Resources (RSR) Classification

The classification and nomenclature system as well as the method and procedure for red soil resources (RSR) classification were proposed based on the evaluation of the aims and principles of RSR classification . Zhejiang province was selected as an example to carry out RSR classification based on geographic information system (GIS). The RSR of the whole province were classified 84 types, and the area distribution of each RSR type was calculated with foxpro database.
