SoilGrids

This document details how to use the ISRIC SoilGrids API to retrieve soil property information from global soil data layers, in this project its used to estimate the density of the ground

Base Endpoint

To query soil property data for a specific geographic coordinate, use:

https://rest.isric.org/soilgrids/v2.0/properties/query

You can specify location parameters (lon, lat) and optional query parameters to limit or format the response.

Soil Property Data (properties)

The response contains soil properties predicted at six standard depths:

Depth Layer	Type	Description
0–5 cm	float	Surface soil layer
5–15 cm	float	Subsurface layer
15–30 cm	float	Root zone layer
30–60 cm	float	Subsoil
60–100 cm	float	Deep subsoil
100–200 cm	float	Bedrock layer
