Soil Data Maps - ESDAC - European Commission

Collection of ESDAC Soil Data Maps

The soil maps that have been produced, curated, or hosted by ESDAC. For each of those maps, we provide access to georeference datasets (e.g TIFFs) of high resolution and relevant documentation (publications). Maps can be reused for any purposes under the condition that are properly cited.
