Soilgrids Data Aggregated 1000m

SoilGrids is a system for digital soil mapping based on a global compilation of soil profile data (WoSIS) and environmental layers. Read about the SoilGrids and WoSIS projects on ISRIC \u2014 World Soil Information .

SoilGrids is designed as a globally consistent, data-driven system that predicts soil properties and classes using global covariates and globally fitted models. If you are looking for soil information on national and/or local levels we advise you, before using SoilGrids, to compare SoilGrids predictions with soil maps derived from national and local soil geographical databases. National soil maps are usually based on more detailed input soil information and therefore are often more accurate than SoilGrids (within the local coverage area). For an overview of national and regional soil databases, please refer to the Soil Geographic Databases compendium.

The selection of soil profiles underpinning SoilGrids is larger than the publicly available set ('WoSIS_latest'), for details see the ESSD paper. The actual number of observations for each property varies (greatly) between profiles and with depth, generally depending on the objectives of the initial soil sampling programmes. National soil survey organisations will generally maintain a wider selection of soil profiles/properties for their country in their databases.
