Description:  
The Soil Parent Material Raster is used in the BC Soil Information Finder tool. This tile service was created from the 1ha grid output of a digital soils predictive mapping project. The methodology is described in Bulmer etal 2016, Improved Soil Mapping in British Columbia, Canada with Legacy Soil Data and Random Forest
Digital Soil Mapping Across Paradigms, Scales and Boundaries, 2016, ISBN : 978-981-10-0414-8

The raster prediction surface was crated using a Random Forest classifier trained with single component polygons from soilsterrain and ecosystem  mapping projects, and 18 topographic predictor layers derived from the provincial 25m DEM. It was originally published and made available in the Hectares BC application from 2017-2020.
