Soil Map #1

Open Saadi4469 opened 4 years ago

Hi Dr. Rathore,

What will be spatial resolution of the output soil map? The reason why I ask this is that the DEM and Landcover file have 30 m resolution, do all these tiffs, DEM, vegetation and soil have to have the same spatial resolution?

Thank you,

This soil map is generated by the HWSD soil file by FAO and the resolution of this raster file is 30-arc seconds (approximately 1 km)

You can directly download the soil map without running the script from https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334634875_World_Soil_Map_FAO

Dr. Rathore-so I can convert this raster file to 500 m and run the script with this finer resolution raster, this will result in a 500 m soil map right?

You can change the grid resolution of the file, but this is something I would not suggest. Try to look for a more finer resolution soil map if you really require it. This file is useful for global study or a macroscale model i.e. VIC.
