Abstract: For more than 30 years the FAO/Unesco Soil map of the World has been the only harmonized source of global soil information.Recent updates and release of new soil information in all regions of the globe was an incentive to tackle the harmonization and integration of the new soil data.The task was undertaken by a consortium of institutes and organizations and resulted in a product with 30 arc second resolution that includes for each soil unit estimates for fifteen top-and subsoil properties.The data come with a viewer, are GIS compatible and are freely available on-line.
