Overall objective :
The service consists in the pedological survey of the union area of the municipalities of Trexenta and the drafting of the relative map of land units and land use capacity at a scale of 1:50,000. This activity falls within the scope of the Project “Preliminary actions aimed at the drafting of the basic cartographic drawings for the acquisition of the pedological data useful for the definition of the capacity of use through the use of the telematic negotiation platform made available by the Regional Commission of the Sardinia Region of Soils.

- Study of previous pedological knowledge and preliminary investigations for the logistical organisation of the survey based on the material provided;
- Soil survey, soil sampling, performance of laboratory analyses and data entry in the Sardinian Soil Database (hereinafter referred to as DBSS);
- Interpretation and processing of field and laboratory data, classification of soils and drafting of the Map of Soil Units and Capacity of Use complete with legend;
