description

Provides globally consistent data on a range of fundamental soil characteristics, including cation exchange capacity, soil texture (sand), nitrogen, and organic carbon stock. These properties are key determinants of soil health and fertility, influencing everything from crop suitability to water retention. This data is essential for informed land management, agricultural planning, and environmental modeling.

methodology

Data is extracted and aggregated from the machine-learning based predictions of soil organic carbon stocks available in the global ISRIC Soilgrids dataset.

validation

Scientifically validated and peer-reviewed.
