SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Latin America and the Caribbean (ver. 1.0)
Entry ID: ISRIC_SOTWISlac

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This harmonized set of soil parameter estimates for Latin America and the Caribbean was derived from a revised version of the 1:5M Soil and Terrain Database for the region (SOTERLAC, ver. 2.0) and the ISRIC-WISE soil profile database.

The land surface of Latin America and the Caribbean has been characterized using 1585 unique SOTER units, corresponding with ... View entire text
