Description
iSDAsoil dataset soil extractable Sulphur (S) log-transformed predicted at 30 m resolution for 0–20 and 20–50 cm depth intervals. Data has been projected in WGS84 coordinate system and compiled as COG. Predictions have been generated using multi-scale Ensemble Machine Learning with 250 m (MODIS, PROBA-V, climatic variables and similar) and 30 m (DTM derivatives, Landsat, Sentinel-2 and similar) resolution covariates. For model training we use a pan-African compilations of soil samples and profiles (iSDA points, AfSPDB, and other national and regional soil datasets). Cite as:

Layer description:
- sol_log.s_mehlich3_m_30m_*..*cm_2001..2017_v0.13_wgs84.tif = predicted soil extractable Sulphur mean value,
- sol_log.s_mehlich3_md_30m_*..*cm_2001..2017_v0.13_wgs84.tif = predicted soil extractable Sulphur model (prediction) errors,
Model errors were derived using bootstrapping: md is derived as standard deviation of individual learners from 5-fold cross-validation (using spatial blocking). The model 5-fold cross-validation (mlr::makeStackedLearner) for this variable indicates:
Variable: log.s_mehlich3
R-square: 0.548
