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 methodologyinput 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
