Prepare Riparian Soil: Prepares gSSURGO data according to a user-defined query. gSSURGO raster layer is the main input. the user can specify specific soil attributes that represent riparian soil in your study area. Palik et al., (2004)* presented riparian soil criteria based on four SSURGO soil attribute; Hydric Class, Drainage Class, Hydrologic Soil Group, and Flood Frequency. The output is a vector format riparian soil layer.
