Soil variables

Description

Soil variables in a depth interval of 5 to 15 cm were obtained from Soilgrids (https://soilgrids.org/) for the 63 observed locations in the historical series analyzed by Krause et al. (2022). The R code used to download and process the soil data can be retrieved at https://github.com/mdkrause/VarComp-ME/blob/main/soil_data.R.

Usage
