Data and code for: Development of Hierarchical Ensemble Model and Estimates of Soil Water Retention with Global Coverage

This dataset provides global maps (in GeoTIFF format) of mean values and coefficients of variation of saturated moisture content (cm3/cm3), field capacity (cm3/cm3), and permanent wilting point (cm3/cm3) estimated from 13-PTF ensemble model in 10 km resolution for surface soils (0-5cm). The R code used to compute the ensemble PTF models is also provided. Calculations are based on the methods developed in the paper entitled "Development of Hierarchical Ensemble Model and Estimates of Soil Water Retention with Global Coverage". The dataset is in GeoTIFF format, which can be read by R, Python, Matlab, etc, and most GIS software. Please cite our publication, if you use the dataset, ^_^ . Yonggen Zhang, Marcel G.
