LBA REGIONAL DERIVED SOIL PROPERTIES, 0.5-DEG (ISRIC-WISE)Entry
ID: lba_isric_wise Abstract: The data set consists of a subset
of the ISRIC-WISE global data set of derived soil properties for
the study area of the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere
Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) in South America (i.e., longitude
85 to 30 degrees W, latitude 25 degrees S to 10 degrees N).The
World Inventory of Soil Emission Potentials (WISE) database
currently contains data for over 4300 soil profiles ...
collected mostly between 1950 and 1995. This database has been
used to generate a series of uniform data sets of derived soil
properties for each of the 106 soil units considered in the Soil
Map of the World (FAO-UNESCO, 1974). These data sets were then
linked to a 1/2 degree longitude by 1/2 degree latitude version
of the edited and digital Soil Map of the World (FAO, 1995) to
generate GIS raster image files for the following
variables:Total available water capacity (mm water per 1 m soil
depth)Soil organic carbon density (kg C/
