Description

National database of Italian Soil Typological Units (STU) and corresponding Derived Soil Profiles (DSP) obtained on a 500 meters grid (1,109,672 points) by neural network. The most probable WRB Reference Soil Group (RSG), WRB Qualifiers, and USDA textural soil types were mapped on the 500 meters grid, by neural network. 18,707 Observed soil profiles and the respective 33,014 Soil Horizons were grouped into 4,472 STUs  based on the combinations of Soil Region, WRB Reference Soil Group (RSG), WRB Qualifiers, and USDA textural soil types obtained on the 500 meters grid. Statistics were calculated (Mean Value, Standard Deviation Value, and Numerosity) for soil rooting depth and for the most common analytical parameters of the soil horizons (Coarse fragment content fraction; pH in water; Carbon (C) - organic; Carbonate (CO3--) - Total; Clay, Sand, and Silt fraction; Granulometry; Textural soil types). The 500 meters grid adopts EPSG 23032 (ED50 UTM-32). A reference scale of 1:250.000 may be attributed to the 500-meters grid map, on the base of the numerosity of DSP produced for the whole italian territory.
