Soil and terrain database for Latin America and the Carribean 1998, CD ROM (Boîte)

This CD ROM contains information on 1490 different SOTER mapping units, with more than 2000 terrain elements, while more than 1800 soil profiles with different measured attributes are present in the database. Geographical information on mapping units is stored in Arc/Info export format. The attribute information is stored in a relational database system. Data on slope, relief intensity, major landform , general lithology, surface rockiness, rootable depth, soil classification in the FAO Revised Legend and in Soil Taxonomy, soil colour, texture, pH and Organic Carbon content are given for most of the soil profiles.
In addition a viewer programme, developed by ISRIC, that runs under Windows (3. 1 or 95) is included that enables one to display thematic maps and search attribute data for non-GIS users.
