                                        The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The vector coverage of the soil map of the world was used. It contains 107 soil classes and was clipped to the CASM boundary of China (Appendix AG-1). The current version of the data, (3.5), was used and was intersected with the country boundaries from the World Data Bank II. Jan. 1994.
