Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) Soil Properties
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The soils group of the VEMAP data include the following: Soil modes - the number of dominant (modal) soils in each VEMAP grid-cell for which soils data are available.
Description
Note that the VEMAP1 published simulations were based on the mineral soil component for modal soil 1. Soils (mineral, organic, and total) - up to 18 variables that make up the mineral or organic component of the soil, or combined for a total soil value.
Variables are available for each modal soil (1-4) and for an average soil. Many variables are available for an upper (0-50 cm) and lower (50 -150 cm) soil layer. The variables are water holding capacity, bulk density, textures, soil organic carbon, soil depth, soil area, rock fragments and water holding capacity.
