Entry ID: ISRIC_SOTWISlac

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This harmonized set of soil parameter estimates for Latin America and the Caribbean was derived from a revised version of the 1:5M Soil and Terrain Database for the region (SOTERLAC, ver. 2.0) and the ISRIC-WISE soil profile database.

The land surface of Latin America and the Caribbean has been characterized using 1585 unique SOTER units, corresponding with ... View entire text

Quality Refer to the documentation included with the data.

Note there is a group of pixels with positive elevation, but less than 1 metre, to the south-west of Heard Island at about 53 degrees 6'53"S 73 degrees 15'1"E.
These are likely to be artefacts in the DEM.
