INFOSOLO - Soil Profile Data for Portugal

The INFOSOLO legacy database is the first effort to develop a soil information system in Portugal, suitable to compile soil data produced in the country, and to support stakeholders and land managers in decision-making. The current version includes soil data from a set of 9934 horizons/layers studied in 3461 soil profiles across the country between 1966 and 2014. Data was extracted from scattered soil surveys, research projects, and academic studies carried out by public Portuguese and other European institutions. As the level of detail of soil information varied between datasets, a series of validation tests and harmonization procedures were implemented in order to access and improve the quality of the data
