Soil organic carbon content in x 5 g / kg at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution

Soil organic carbon content in × 5 g / kg (to convert to % divide by 2) at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution. The maps are provided using Byte type to significantly reduce file size. Predicted from a global compilation of soil points. Also available for download: soil organic stock maps in in kg / m2 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1475453) and bulk density maps in kg / m3 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1475970). Processing steps are described in detail here. Antarctica is not included.

All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention:

sol = theme: soil,

organic.carbon = variable: soil organic carbon content in x 5 g / kg,

usda.6a1c = determination method: laboratory method code,

m = mean value,

250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m,

b10..10cm = vertical reference: 10 cm depth below surface,

1950..2017 = time reference: period 1950–2017,

v0.2 = version number: 0.2,
