ISRIC-WISE -- Global Soil Profile Data (ver. 3.1)
Entry ID: ISRIC_WISE_GlobalProfileDataSet_ver1_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Version 3.1 of the ISRIC-WISE database (WISE3) was compiled from a wide range of soil profile data collected by many soil professionals worldwide. All profiles have been harmonized with respect to the original Legend (1974) and Revised Legend (1988) of FAO-Unesco. Thereby, the primary soil data ─ and any secondary data derived from them ─ can be linked using GIS to the spatial units of the ... View entire text
