Note that layers can only be added one at a time. Select the layer you wish to add and then click Add. Step 4: Connect the URL of SoilGrids to QGIS Step 3: Connect the URL of SoilGrids to QGISĬlick Connect (ignore a possible SSL warning). Provide your credentials if requested. The layers now appear in the Data Source ׀WMS/WMTS window. Once open, use command + S, click the floppy disc icon in the top left of QGIS, OR click File>Save. If you do not know where it is, search for it in Spotlight. For instance, fill in phh2o.map in the Name box, and copy and paste: Ĭlick OK. The WMS is added to the Data Source ׀WMS/WMTS window. Note: If downloading QGIS3 for the first time on a Mac, watch this video. In the Data Source ׀WMS/WMTS window, click the New button.įill in a Name and copy/paste a URL of a SoilGrids WMS in the URL box. Step 2: creating a New WMS/WMTS Connection Also you can locate the icon to directly access to this option in the left panel of your QGIS. Start QGIS, in QGIS go to the Layer tab and navigate to the Add WMS/WMTS option. Loading SoilGrids layers to QGIS through WMS To access the legend. double click a layer. In the Add Data window you now see that this WMS is added to the GIS Servers folder. In the example of the pH-H2O layers the WMS appears as Soilgrids property_pH water on .Ĭlick Add and then once more Add. The SoilGrids layers are loaded to Table of Contents within ArcMap/ArcGIS.Īlternatively, browse to the added WMS layer in the Catalog, select the layer and drag the layer to the table of contents.Ĭhoose or tick a soil property layer for the depth (0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-100, 100-200cm) and prediction (Q0.05, mean, Q0.5, Q0.95) you wish to evaluate. Step 5: add SoilGrids layers to ArcMap/ArcGIS project In the Add WMS Server window, copy the URL of SoilGrids Layer you wish to add to your GIS and paste the URL to column URL. For instance the WMS link for the layer pH in water (phh20) is: . Choose a Version e.g. Step 4: connect the WMS Server to the SoilGrids WMS
In the Add Data window, click the box next to Look in: and scroll down to select GIS Serversĭouble click GIS Servers, in the GIS Servers window and double click Add WMS Server. The Add WMS Server window opens. Step 1: Start ArcMap and click icon ’+’ or Add Data Loading SoilGrids layers to ArcMap/ArcGIS through WMS The page provides an overview of the SoilGrids layers, the layer names and the WMS/WCS link.īelow you will find the instructions on how to use the services server to access and display SoilGrids in ArcMap and QGIS with WMS. SoilGrids layers are provided as Web Map Service (WMS) layers and Web Coverage Service (WCS), which load dynamically in a GIS software. Instructions to access SoilGrids layers with web services
