We have demonstrated, using a series of cross-validation tests, that the new version of SoilGrids represents a significant improvement upon the previous products at 1 km resolution, especially in terms of spatial detail and attribute accuracy. Future work is required to determine if these improvements in accuracy could also help produce more accurate Global Gridded Crop Models (GGCMs) that allow for more reliable estimates of impact of climate change and land degradation on food production [8]. Data accessibility problems with SoilGrids have also been addressed: SoilGrids are now available for viewing in fusion with satellite imagery via the data portal SoilGrids.org (Fig 14). SoilGrids rasters can also be downloaded via FTP for smaller areas; at point locations through the SoilInfo App and the REST SoilGrids. There should be fewer and fewer obstacles for ecologists, agronomists, hydrologists, climatologists, foresters and spatial planners to discover, obtain and use soil data in their daily work.
