contents <p>This dataset contains 11 regional ZIP archives of soil raster subsets derived from the global soil layers represented as a 9-layer environmental predictor set derived from SoilGrids (https://isric.org/explore/soilgrids) at 30 arc-second resolution, using mean values for the 0–5 cm soil depth interval.
