Some slides I made in 2008, to compare soil properties included in the Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD) and the WISE Global Soil Profile Database and their potential use for the DSSAT soil data requirement. We (HarvestChoice) wished to create a smart/magic wand to come up with a soil profile at every grid-cell (10 km) in SSA, combining HWSD and WISE. Many things happened since, but we’re not quite there yet (or, knowing about the dataset/problems better, we may not need to be there any more…).
