Abstract:

Leveraging this comprehensive soil data collection, stakeholders can gain a nuanced understanding of the Limpopo Basin's pedosphere (soil layer). This data unveils the intricate spatial distribution of soil types, their physical and chemical properties (texture, fertility, erodibility), and associated vulnerability to degradation. This knowledge empowers informed decision-making for sustainable land management practices, agricultural optimization, conservation efforts, and proactive erosion control strategies, ultimately safeguarding the basin's long-term ecological health and agricultural potential.The main data source provider is FAO/UNESCO
