OpenLandMap Soil Bulk Density

  • This dataset provides soil bulk density (fine earth) estimates at six standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100, and 200 cm).

  • The data is available at a 250-meter resolution and covers the period from 1950 to 2018, excluding Antarctica.

  • Bulk density is expressed in kg/m³ and can be visualized and accessed through Google Earth Engine and OpenGeohub.

  • The dataset is provided by EnvirometriX Ltd and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0.

  • Users can find technical support and report issues through dedicated channels on GitLab and Disqus.

Description

Soil bulk density (fine earth) 10 x kg / m3 at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution.

Processing steps are described in detail here. Antarctica is not included.
