Hi,
There are quite a few number of soil databases being used worldwide, each having different spatial resolution, coverage, and data quality. Among them, the JRC ESDB, the FAO/Others HWSD, and the ISRIC-WISE databases are more cited. However, no specific set of rules have been developed to select an appropriate soil database.
Do you have any suggestion for choosing the best and most reliable soil database for a research study at the European level?

Dear Dr. Ababaei,
I recommend to consult the following references to solve your pedological problems on a European level.
