SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Southern Africa (ver. 1.0)
Entry ID: ISRIC_SOTWISsaf

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This harmonized set of soil parameter estimates for Southern Africa has been derived from the 1:2M scale Soil and Terrain Database for Southern Africa (SOTERSAF ver. 1.0) and ISRIC-WISE soil profile database.

The land surface of Southern Africa has been characterized using 4022 unique SOTER units, corresponding with 6099 polygons. The major soils have been ... View entire text
