ISRIC WoSIS latest soil property GeoPackages (global point data; mixed-licence profiles, November 2024 release)

Description:This archive contains six harmonized GeoPackage files (GPKG) derived from the ISRIC World Soil Information Service (WoSIS “latest” dynamic dataset, November 2024 update). Each GeoPackage includes standardized point data for a specific soil property measured in individual soil profiles worldwide, formatted for spatial extraction in ecological and biogeographical analyses. All files share a common attribute structure with columns for profile and layer identifiers, sampling depths, numeric value and averaged value (value_avg), analytical method, dataset identifier, geographic region, positional uncertainty, and per-record licence information (licence).
