Summary
Abstract: This harmonized, gridded global data set of soil parameter estimates includes files listing: (1) soil parameter estimates for the component soil units of each terrestrial grid cell, in un-binned format, and (2) soil parameter estimates aggregated or binned into a number of predefined classes.

The spatial data, with a resolution of ½ by ½ degree, was derived from the ISRIC-WISE soil database. The ... View entire text
