WoSIS latest - Sites

This file provides an overview of the site locations where profiles (or point data) in WoSIS are located. Depending on the type of survey, one or more profiles can occur within a site in accordance with ISO 28528 soil domain conventions.

WoSIS_latest is a 'dynamic dataset' that contains the most recent complement of quality-assessed and standardised soil data served from WoSIS (ISRIC World Soil Information Service). Being dynamic, this dataset will grow/change once new point data are acquired and standardised, additional soil properties are considered, and/or when possible amendments are required.

Static snapshots of wosis_latest are released at irregular intervals for consistent citation purposes, see https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-16-4735-2024 and WoSIS FAQ-page (https://www.isric.org/explore/wosis/faq-wosis).
