OpenLandMap Sand Content

AI-generated Key Takeaways

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

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

• Sand content is expressed as a percentage (kg/kg) and is based on machine learning predictions using a global compilation of soil profiles.

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

• Users can access and visualize the data through Google Earth Engine or the OpenLandMap website.
