SOTER data Soil and Terrain (SOTER) databases consist of a geometric component and an attribute database. Primary SOTER databases are developed using a uniform methodology (download SOTER methodology, input software and software manual). Standardized procedures were used to fill selected gaps in the measured (primary) soil analytical data, resulting in so-called secondary SOTER sets. These consistent datasets can be used for a wide range of applications Continental scale: ► Primary SOTER databases: Latin America and the Caribbean, version 2.0 (scale 1:5 million) Central and Eastern Europe (scale 1:2.5 million) Southern Africa (scale 1:2 million) Central Africa (scale 1:2 million)► Secondary SOTER databases: SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Southern Africa (scale 1:2 million) SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Central Africa (scale 1:2 million) SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Latin America and the Caribbean (scale 1:5 million) SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Central and Eastern Europe (scale 1:2.5 million) Harmonized, continental scale, SOTER-derived database (5 by 5 arcminutes grid) National scale: ► Primary SOTER databases: Kenya (scale 1:1 Million) ► Secondary SOTER databases: SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Jordan (scale 1:500 000) SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Kenya (scale 1:1 million) SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Indo-Gangetic Plains, India (scale 1:1million) SOTER-based soil parameter estimates for Brazil (scale 1:5 million)
