We developed a comprehensive, gridded Global Soil Dataset for use in Earth System Models (GSDE) and other applications. The GSDE provides soil information, such as soil particle‐size distribution, organic carbon, and nutrients, and quality control information in terms of confidence level at 30″ × 30...
