GBR BGS Plant–available soil magnesium (Mg) concentrations

Plant–available soil magnesium (Mg) concentrations, in mg L‐1, are mapped for England and Wales. This layer is a prediction of concentrations derived from the combination of data from two separate soil fertility survey datasets.

The mapped data provides a national–scale overview of variation, but can also be interrogated to show fine–scale variation. Mg concentrations may be compared to the Mg Index values in the agricultural Nutrient Management Guide (RB209).
