The Soil and Terrain database (SOTER) for Nepal, at scale 1:1 million, is a generalisation of Nepal's Soil and Terrain database (1:50 000) compiled in 2004 by FAO and the Survey Department of Nepal.
ISRIC- World Soil Information compiled the database using the SOTER methodology. Much of the discrimination and characterization of the SOTER units is based on a former land system survey, complemented by data of the 90 m digital elevation model (DEM), derived from Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM, more).
The SOTER information is presented in ArcGIS9.3® and in ArcView 3.3® format, while the attribute database is in tabular MSAccess® format.
