Summary

Abstract:
This database management system is comprised of spatial and tabular data of global soils and climate data sets. A model estimates soil moisture and temperature regimes. A five minute rastorized FAO Soil Map of the World is included for easy reference. Data on about 3,000 soils, georeferenced, are included. Average monthly temperature and rainfall data of 27,000 stations completes the database. Data can be exported for modeling work. Collection Methodology: Soils data collected by field sampling. Climatic data from national meteorological stations. Digitized soils information mainly from FAO. Collection Frequency: Continuous - almost monthly. STATISTICAL INFORMATION: 22 Megabytes LANGUAGE: English ACCESS/AVAILABILITY: Data Center: World Soil Resources Dissemination Media: Currently on floppy disks; eventually on CD Rom. File Format: ASCII and text. Access Instructions: Contact the data center. |
