Data details

Name Global Hydrologic Soil Groups (HYSOGs250m)
Note The dataset (https://daac.ornl.gov/SOILS/guides/Global_Hydrologic_Soil_Group.html) represents a globally consistent, gridded dataset of hydrologic soil groups (HSGs) with a geographical resolution of 1/480 decimal degrees, corresponding to a projected resolution of approximately 250-m. These data were developed to support runoff modeling at regional and continental scales. Classification of HSGs was derived from soil texture classes and depth to bedrock provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization soilGrids250m system. The R script used to generate the dataset is included as a companion file.
