Soil water content (volumetric %) for 33kPa and 1500kPa suctions predicted at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution

Soil water content (volumetric) in percent for 33 kPa and 1500 kPa suctions predicted at 6 standard depths (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 cm) at 250 m resolution. Training points are based on a global compilation of soil profiles (USDA NCSS, AfSPDB, ISRIC WISE, EGRPR, SPADE, CanNPDB, UNSODA, SWIG, HYBRAS and HydroS). Data import steps are available <strong>here</strong>. Spatial prediction steps are described in detail <strong>here</strong>. Note: these are actually measured and mapped soil content values; no Pedo-Transfer-Functions have been used (except to fill-in the missing NCSS bulk densities). Available water capacity in mm (derived as a difference between field capacity and wilting point multiplied by layer thickness) per layer is available <strong>here</strong>. Antarctica is not included.
