AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This dataset provides soil texture classes based on the USDA system for 6 different soil depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100, and 200 cm).
-
Data is available at a 250-meter resolution and covers the period from 1950 to 2018, excluding Antarctica.
-
Soil texture classes are derived using the soiltexture package in R, with detailed processing steps documented on GitLab.
-
The dataset can be accessed and visualized within Google Earth Engine or through OpenGeoHub for use outside of Earth Engine.
