Silt content in % (kg / kg) at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution

Silt content in % (kg / kg) at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution. Based on machine learning predictions from global compilation of soil profiles and samples. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antarctica is not included.
