A new digital soil map of the world
Knowledge of the world’s soil resources is fragmented and dated. The modelling community, farmers, land users, and policy and decision makers need accurate, up-to-date and spatially referenced soil information. This need coincides with major advances in technologies for the prediction of soil properties.
GlobalSoilMap.net is a new global project that aims to make a new digital soil map.
