BEIJING, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- China unveiled its soil profile dataset in Beijing on Thursday, as reported by China Science Daily on Friday. The publication of this story means that the country has completed a comprehensive, high-precision digital soil database that covers a vast territory.
The dataset reflects China's soil resources and quality. It consists of 25 volumes and 27.51 million words, collecting data from more than 63,000 soil profiles across over 2,200 counties nationwide.
