soilDB is one of the Algorithms for Quantitative Pedology (AQP) suite of R packages, and comprises a collection of functions for reading data from USDA-NCSS (National Cooperative Soil Survey) soil databases including SoilWeb, Series Extent Explorer, and Soil Data Explorer. This package provides methods for extracting soils information from local PedonPC and AK Site databases (MS Access format), local NASIS databases (MS SQL Server), and the SDA webservice. Currently USDA-NCSS data sources are supported, however, there are plans to develop interfaces to outside systems such as the Global Soil Mapping project. <div> Resources in this dataset:</div> <ul><li>Resource Title: Website pointer to soilDB: Soil Database Interface.
