Soil property estimates for the Upper Tana river catchment, Kenya, derived from SOTER and WISE (ver.1.1)

This data set describes a harmonized set of soil property estimates for the Upper Tana river catchment, Kenya. The data set was derived from the 1:250 000 scale Soil and Terrain Database for the Upper Tana (SOTER_UT, ver. 1.1; Dijkshoorn et al. 2011) and the ISRIC-WISE soil profile database, using standardized taxonomy-based pedotransfer (taxotransfer) procedures.
