Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Soilgrids Tools (3)

soil_properties

Get soil property values at any coordinate from ISRIC SoilGrids (250m global grid) — clay/sand/silt %, pH, organic carbon, nitrogen, cation exchange, bulk density, water content. Values are returned in real units (scaled from raw map units). Keyless; the SoilGrids API may take several seconds to re…

soil_classification

Get the World Reference Base (WRB) soil classification at a coordinate from ISRIC SoilGrids — the most probable soil class (e.g. Cambisols, Podzols) plus the top 5 classes with probabilities. Keyless; may take several seconds to respond.

list_soil_properties

List the soil properties available from ISRIC SoilGrids with their names and available depth intervals. Use this to discover valid property codes for soil_properties. Keyless; may take several seconds to respond.
