Soils of the World, according to the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB 2014, Update 2015)

This map was prepared based on the Harmonised World Soil Database (HSWD), v1.2 and using the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) 2014, update 2015. The map units were derived from aggregation of the HWSD units using the ‘soil associations’ as defined in the short key of the WRB2014 document. The aggregated World Soil Map map was prepared at ISRIC on request of the Heinrich-Boell-Stiftung.

International Soil Carbon Network (ISCN)

The International Soil Carbon Network (ISCN) is a science-based network that facilitates data sharing, assembles databases, identifies gaps in data coverage, and enables spatially explicit assessments of soil carbon in context of landscape, climate, land use, and biotic variables.

SoilGrids250m 2.0 - Volumetric Water Content at 33kPa aggregated 5000m

Volumetric Water Content at 33kPa suction in 10-3 cm3cm-3 (0.1 v% or 1 mm/m) at 6 standard depths. Predictions were derived using a digital soil mapping approach based on Quantile Random Forest, drawing on a global compilation of soil profile data and environmental layers. This map is the result of resampling the mean SoilGrids 250 m predictions (Turek et al. 2021) for each 5000 m cell.

Africa SoilGrids - Sum of exchangeable bases

Sum of exchangeable bases (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+ measured in 1M NH4OAc buffered at pH 7 with part of the data converted from data measured according to Mehlich 3) in cmolc/kg (fine earth) at 6 depth intervals predicted using two Africa soil profiles datasets. For details see published paper here below (Hengl T., G.B.M. Heuvelink, B. Kempen, J.G.B. Leenaars, M.G. Walsh, K.D. Shepherd, A. Sila, R.A. MacMillan, J. Mendes de Jesus, L.T. Desta, J.E.

WoSIS latest - Total nitrogen (N)

The sum of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (ammonia, organic and reduced nitrogen) and nitrate-nitrite (g/kg). WoSIS_latest is a 'dynamic dataset' that contains the most recent complement of quality-assessed and standardised soil data served from WoSIS (ISRIC World Soil Information Service). The source data were shared by a wide range of data providers (see: https://www.isric.org/explore/wosis/wosis-contributing-institutions-and-experts). Being dynamic, the contents of 'wosis_latest' will change once new point data are acquired, cleansed and standardised, additional soil properties are considered, and/or when possible amendments are required. Static snapshots of 'wosis_latest' are released at irregular intervals for consistent citation purposes and to discuss methodological changes; the last snapshot is available at https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-16-4735-2024. For general information about WoSIS please see the FAQ-page at https://www.isric.org/explore/wosis/faq-wosis.

SoilGrids250m 2017-03 - Cummulative probability of organic soil based on the TAXOUSDA and TAXNWRB

Cummulative probability of organic soil based on the TAXOUSDA and TAXNWRB predicted using the global compilation of soil ground observations. Accuracy assessement of the maps is availble in Hengl et at. (2017) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0169748. Data provided as GeoTIFFs with internal compression (co='COMPRESS=DEFLATE'). Measurement units: probability.
