Abstract: This map provides spatial information on available soil potassium content in Bhutan. The resolution of the map is at 250 meters, however, please use this map with caution as there could be high uncertainty in some areas, especially in forested areas due to limited samples from forested region and also, the ground truthing exercise is in progress. This data is to provide general overview of available soil potassium content in Bhutan.
Purpose: This dataset provides spatial information on soil potassium content of Bhutan generated through reconnaissance soil survey using Random forest modelling with 10-fold cross validation,
Credits: This dataset is produced with funding support from the Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) and Asian Food & Agriculture Cooperation Initiative (AFACI) of Rural Development Administration of the Republic of Korea and with technical support from Global Soil Partnership (GSP) of Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN).
