<descript>
<abstract>The table contains 2937 observations (augers) of soil textures and soil types. Ebergotzen is 10 by 10 km study area in the vicinity of the city of Gottingen in Central Germany.</abstract>
<purpose>This area has been extensively surveyed over the years, mainly for the purposes of developing operational digital soil mapping techniques (Gehrt and Bohner, 2001).</purpose>

<attracce>Texture by hand method (Ad-hoc-AG Boden, 2005) can be used to determine the content of soil earth fractions only to an accuracy of +-5-10% (Skaggs et al. 2001). A surveyor distinguishes to which of the 32 texture classes a soil samples belongs to, and then estimates the content of fractions. E.g. texture class St2 has 10% clay, 25% silt and 65% sand.</attracce>
