Soil Hydrologic Groups - ORNL-DAAC’s HYSOGs250m Data (250m)

Classification of (Hydologic Soil Groups) HSGs was derived from soil texture classes and depth to bedrock provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization soilGrids250m system. This dataset generally has local differentiation, when compared to the HiHydroSoilv2 dataset.

Processing steps were based on requirements for using the layer as a Soil Hydrologic Group input for InVEST models. More information on processing steps for this layer can be found in the User Guide: storage.googleapis.com/releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest-userguide/latest/en/data_sources.html#soil-groups and in the Lineage section of the accompanying YML file.
