Soil properties at 1 m resolution for ILRI Kapiti, Version 1.0

The dataset includes soil maps at 1-m resolution for the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Kapiti Wildlife Conservancy and Kapiti Research Station, covering 12,959 ha in Machakos County, Kenya. The dataset provides high-quality images (extension .tif; tiff images) and spatial data (extensions .tif and .ovr; geotiff) for most major soil properties (fractional soil texture, pH, and stocks of C, N, and P in g m-2, adjusted for soil bulk density) at four depths (0-5, 5-20, 20-50, and 50-100 cm) at the 1-m resolution of a digital elevation model (DEM) (Dowling 2019). The maps for Version 1.0 are from simple spatial kriging as a function of elevation, based on an initial set of 65 triple-bulked soil samples taken from randomized locations stratified by elevation.
