Short summary
This paper focuses on collating legacy soil profile data and on the production of an updated national soil type map of Ethiopia, EthioSoilGrids version 1.0, using legacy data and a machine-learning approach. Given its quantitative digital representation, the map and the associated data make tremendous contributions to agricultural development planning and digital agricultural solutions, as well as improving the accuracy of global predictive soil mapping efforts.
