OpenLandMap Soil Texture Class (USDA System)

  • This dataset provides soil texture classes based on the USDA system for 6 different 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.

  • Soil texture classes are derived using the soiltexture package in R, with detailed processing steps documented on GitLab.

  • The dataset can be accessed and visualized within Google Earth Engine or through OpenGeoHub for use outside of Earth Engine.

Description

Soil texture classes (USDA system) for 6 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. Antarctica is not included.
