Soil temperature profiles provide an indication of frost depth during the winter which can have an impact on spring snowmelt runoff rates. As a follow-up FAO and Unesco decided in 1961 to prepare a Soil Map of the World at 1:5 000 000 scale.The project was completed over a span of twenty years. The map could contribute to national decision-making on agriculture and related studies, provide data support for research on terrestrial carbon circulation in China and global carbon stock estimation, and make a contribution to global change research and global soil mapping. It integrates digital map data along with other resource information to produce current information on the status, extent, characteristics and functions of wetlands, riparian, and deepwater habitats.

Wetlands Mapper. NWI data are used by natural resource managers, within the US FWS and throughout the Nation, to promote the understanding, conservation and restoration of wetlands. This map displays soil temperature data from sensors at depths of 2, 4, 8, 20, and 40 inches. The most updated national soil information can only be obtained from a country’s national soil service. The U.S. General Soil Map was developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey and supersedes the State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) dataset. National Forest Atlases are full color atlases, containing 8.5-inch by 11-inch topographic quadrangle maps at 1 inch to the mile scale and are available for many of the forests in California. The US FWS National Wetlands Inventory is a publicly available resource that provides detailed information on the abundance, characteristics, and distribution of US wetlands. Establish a national “network of networks” that effectively demonstrates data and operational coordination of in situ networks and addresses gaps in coverage; Support R&D on innovative techniques to merge in situ soil moisture data with remotely-sensed and modeled hydrologic data to create near-real-time, gridded, user-friendly soil moisture maps and associated tools The International Union of Soil Science (IUSS) - at its Seventh Congress, at Madison, Wisconsin, USA, in 1960 - recommended that soil maps of continents and large regions be published. The National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) is a nationwide partnership of Federal, regional, State, and local agencies and private entities and institutions.This partnership works to cooperatively investigate, inventory, document, classify, interpret, disseminate, and publish information about soils. However, International organizations such as FAO, ISRIC World Soil Information, the Joint research Centre of the European Commission and others have compiled and harmonized national soil information in regional datasets or made soil maps available in digital format. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System data base which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties. Data are queried from the NCRFC database late morning each day. The U.S. General Soil Map is comprised of general soil association units and is maintained and distributed as a spatial and tabular dataset. The Wetlands mapper is designed to deliver easy-to-use, map like views of America’s Wetland resources. National Soil Map - Vector Data Version NATMAP Vector is the principle soil data product held at Cranfield University. The tabular data contain estimated and measured data on the physical and chemical soil properties, soil interpretations, and static and dynamic metadata.
