OpenLandMap Soil Organic Carbon Content

  • This dataset provides global soil organic carbon content estimations at six standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100, and 200 cm).

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

  • Soil organic carbon content is expressed in x 5 g / kg and was predicted using a global compilation of soil points.

  • The dataset is available under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license and is accessible through Google Earth Engine and OpenGeohub.

  • Users can explore the data, visualize it, and access the code for processing and analysis using the provided links.
