AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This dataset provides global clay content estimations at six standard soil depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100, and 200 cm).
-
Data is available at a 250-meter resolution and covers the period from 1950 to 2018, excluding Antarctica.
-
Clay content is expressed as a percentage (kg/kg) and is based on machine learning predictions using a compilation of soil profiles and samples.
-
The dataset is accessible through Google Earth Engine and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
-
Users can find further details and visualization options on OpenLandMap's platform.
