General Soils Map of Los Planes Basin, Baja California Sur Mexico
This dataset contains a 6‑class soils map (30-meter) for the Los Planes basin in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The map was generated using a digital soil mapping approach that incorporates environmental covariables following the SCORPAN (soil, climate, organisms, topography, parent material, age, and time) framework. The data release also includes a point feature class representing multiple soil sampling campaigns across the watershed, including a dedicated field effort led by collaborators in the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur (UABCS) Earth Sciences Department that emerged directly from this research. Photographs from the field sampling campaign are provided. The accompanying attribute table supplies detailed qualitative and quantitative descriptions of each sampled profile. Spatially, these point data served both as an independent validation dataset for the predicted 6‑class soil map, and they provided the physical measurements required to parameterize the companion usersoil table (provided in .xlsx format).
