Clay, silt and sand distribution in Antarctic soils modeled and predicted through Machine Learning approaches, legacy soil data and environmental covariates. The coefficient of variation and quantile data represent the spatial uncertainty of the predictions. For more information about the methodology used, users are referred to the article: Siqueira, R.G., Moquedace, C.M., Francelino, M.R., Schaefer, C.E.G.R., Fernandes-Filho, E.I., 2023.
