Soil and Terrain Database for Tunisia primary data (version 1.0) - scale 1:1 million (SOTER_Tunisia)
Entry ID:
ISRIC_SOTER_Tunisia_primary
Summary
Abstract:
The Soil and Terrain database for Tunisia primary data (version 1.0), at scale 1:1 million (SOTER_Tunisia), was compiled of enhanced soil information within the framework of the FAO's program of Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA). A SOTER database was compiled based on the digital soil map of Tunisia. The primary soil and terrain data for Tunisia has been selected from available survey reports and publications. A SRTM-DEM was used to adjust some unit boundaries in the GIS file.
SOTER forms a part of the ongoing activities of ISRIC, FAO and UNEP to update the world's baseline information on natural resources.The project involved collaboration with national soil institutes from the countries in the region as well as individual experts.

Quality
Rosetta has been tested for a large number of cases. However, no
warranty is given that the program is completely error-free.
Use Constraints
Rosetta V1.0 is a Windows 95/98 program. Although it is based on
ACCESS-97 database tables which allow efficient handling and lookup of small and large volumes of data, ACCESS-97 is not required to run Rosetta. Data can be either manually entered or read from ASCII files. The maximum amount of samples (records) that Rosetta can handle is limited by the available hard disk space. Estimated hydraulic properties can be exported in ASCII files and used in other programs. ACCESS-97 can be used to manage `Rosetta's predictions in a larger project, provided that the tables created by Rosetta are not altered.
