A soil “knowledge base” centered around the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) standards.

These are standards developed and maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Soil and Plant Science Division (SPSD). They are defined in the National Soil Survey Handbook (NSSH*)

The contents of this repository are completely reproducible. You can build an instance of all of the external data from scratch if you install the package off GitHub and run the refresh() command.
