SoilGrids 250 m

SoilGrids version 2.0. Global soil properties at six depths with uncertainty.

Clay, sand, silt, bulk density, organic carbon, pH, cation exchange capacity, coarse fragments and nitrogen at 0–5, 5–15, 15–30, 30–60, 60–100 and 100–200 cm, with quantiles for uncertainty. Soil texture from SoilGrids is a common input for pedotransfer functions.
