Global Digital 1-Degree Soil Type and Surface Slope

Global data for soil type, texture, surface slope and other properties, at a 1 degree resolution. Based on FAO soil maps (1974) and on Matthews vegetation dataset (DS765.0.). Has more details about soil than the Wilson dataset (DS767.0) (from Zobler, 1986 files). See NASA Technical Memorandum 100685, Staub and Rosenzweig.
