The World Data Centre for Soils (WDC-Soils) is a regular member of the World Data System (WDS), an affiliated body of the International Science Council (ISC). They provide a focal point for soil-related collections and information services, and ensure their long-term preservation and archiving.

Our resources include soil specimens, country documentation, and geo-referenced databases. Many of these are available freely on-line, and can be used to underpin a wide range of studies of environmental, societal and economic sustainability.
