The samples consist of all physically archived samples at ISRIC in 2004 for which soil attribute data was available. The spectra were measured at the World Agroforestry Center's (ICRAF) Soil and Plant Spectral Diagnostic Laboratory. The samples are from 58 countries spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Associated attribute data, such as geographical coordinates, horizon (depth), and physical and chemical properties, are provided in a single relational database. The purpose of the library is to provide a resource for research and applications for sensing soil quality both in the laboratory and from space Keith Shepherd World Agroforestry Centre Senior scientist PO Box 30677 Nairobi 00100 Kenya afsis.info@africasoils.net Stephan Mantel ISRIC - World Soil Information Sustainable land management PO Box 353 Wageningen 6700AJ Netherlands stephan.mantel@wur.nl https://files.isric.org/public/thumbnails/other/ICRAF-ISRICVNIRSoilDatabase.jpg soil profiles colour moisture texture spectroscopy data Soil science Stratum Australia Botswana Brazil Cameroon China Colombia Costa Rica Cote d Ivoire Cuba Ecuador Finland France Gabon Germany Ghana Greece Hungary Spain Region Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 100000 geoscientificInformation 1996-11-01 2006-11-01 -172.5 153.1 -38.6 64.9 zip https://files.isric.org/public/other/ WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-ftp--download Download https://isric.org/explore/ISRIC-collections WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related Project webpage ISRIC https://www.worldagroforestry.org/sd/landhealth/soil-plant-spectral-diagnostics-laboratory/soil-spectra-library WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related Project webpage ICRAF http://worldagroforestry.org/sites/default/files/Description_ICRAF-ISRIC%20Soil%20VNIR%20Spectral%20Library.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--related Report World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and ISRIC - World Soil Information. 2010.
