Dataset was scientifically peer reviewed
Description:
The dataset contains two layers: 1) available soil water holding capacity and 2) soil fertility mapped at 1 km resolution. 
The soil maps were produced by combining leaf area index (LAI) values derived by Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) with a process-based forest growth model (3-PG).
