Data from four datasets have been combined to create a tool to give easily accessible information to help in decisions to identify the most effective soil improvement techniques. datasets used are soil pH, land use (to delineate areas of grassland appropriate for liming) (both based on digital spatial data licensed from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology), soil texture and soil Mg availability (based on BGS data). The full methodology outlining how this data set has been constructed, sources of component datasets used and how it can be used are given in Bide et al., 2021. A spatial analysis of lime resources and their potential for improving soil magnesium concentrations and pH in grassland areas of England and Wales.
