Staub and Rosenweig's GISS Soil and Surface Slope, 1-Degree
|
|
Global data for soil type, texture, surface slope and other properties,
at a 1 degree resolution. Based on FAO soil maps (1974) and on
Matthews vegetation dataset (DS765.0.).
Has more details about soil than the Wilson dataset (DS767.0)
(from Zobler, 1986 files). See NASA TM 100685, Stauband Rosenzweig.
