Hi, Laura,
For the United States, you can download tabular and spatially-explicit
data on an areas soil type and soil characteristics from the USDA's
Soil Data Mart: http://soildatamart.nrcs.usda.gov/

Dear all:
I would greatly appreciate any ideas or suggestions regarding
spatially
explicit soil data bases/data sets (or other spatially explicit
terrestrial
environmental data).
I am specifically looking for spatially explicit forest and/or
grassland
vegetation data along with environmental variable data (including soil
data). However, any terrestrial environmental data would work.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Laura
