Soil sand content [%] for continental Europe at 30 m spatial resolution for period 2000-2020: Open Soil Data Cube for Europe

Predictions are based on the 3D Ensemble Machine Learning framework, as implemented in the R environment for statistical computing (Hengl & MacMillan, 2019; Hengl, et al., 2021). For each pixel we provide prediction errors as 1 standard deviation in either log or the original variable scale. The short description of currently available soil properties: sand.tot = sand content [percent]; Soil properties were predicted at fixed depths: Surface soil = s0..0cm, Subsoil 1 = s30..30cm, Subsoil 2 = s60..60cm, Subsoil 3 = s100..100cm. To produce estimates for depth intervals e.g. 0–30 cm, 0–100 cm best use the trapezoidal rule formula. Periods: 2000 (2000–2003), 2004 (2004–2007), 2008 (2008–2011), 2012 (2012–2015), 2016 (2016–2019), 2020;
