Description

This is a public compendium of global, regional, national and sub-national soil samples and/or soil profile datasets (points with Observations and Measurements of soil properties and characteristics). Datasets listed here, assuming compatible open license, are afterwards imported into the Global compilation of soil chemical and physical properties and soil classes and eventually used to create a better open soil information across countries. Please feel free to contribute entries. See GitHub repository for more detailed instructions.

To read about the import steps and quality control, refer to the Hengl et al. (2026; ESSD).
