Description

Soil texture classes (USDA system) for 6 standard soil depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m. Derived from predicted soil texture fractions using the soiltexture package in R. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antartica is not included.

All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention:

  • sol = theme: soil,
  • texture.class = variable: soil texture class,
  • usda = determination method: USDA texture triangle,
  • c = factor,
  • 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m,
  • b10..10cm = vertical reference: 10 cm depth below surface,
  • 1950..2017 = time reference: period 1950-2017,
  • v0.1 = version number: 0.1,
