Frequently asked questions

question

Why do you have an hexagonal map?

At SoilHive, we use Uber H3 hexagons for consistent spatial analysis. These hexagons offer uniform coverage across the map, with equivalent shape and area, facilitating data integrationacross multiple data sources , providing a solid framework for soil data density representation.

question

What is the H3 cell resolution?

H3 is a geospatial indexing system developed by Uber Technologies that organizes the Earth's surface into a hierarchical hexagonal cells. H3 supports sixteen resolutions. Each finer resolution has cells with one seventh the area of the coarser resolution. Hexagons cannot be perfectly subdivided into seven hexagons, so the finer cells are only approximately contained within a parent cell.

question

What is the Data Availability index?

The Data Availability Index calculation is based on a data-driven approach and defines what is available in a certain location (data density). The DAI serves as a tool to help governments and multilaterals to identify areas where data is limited and prioritize efforts to improve data collection and access. A Data Availability Index (DAI) of 0 signifies the least data availability, while a DAI of 1 indicates the highest level of data availability.

question

How did you calculate data availability index?

Varda developed a multidimensional assessment framework for assessing data availability that encompasses data density, GIS data type, temporal and spatial resolution, as well as the breadth of information over the soil profile. We assigned a score to each H3 cell based on the information it contains. The scores obtained for each H3 cell are then normalized between 0 to 1. This normalization process enables consistent comparison and interpretation of data availability across different locations and time periods.

question

What are the agroecosystem filters?

We provide a set of spatial filters that allow users to narrow down their search based on areas with similar sets of soil, land cover and climate characteristics.

question

How many locations can I compare in the comparison feature?

A user can compare up to two locations at the same time in one search. If a user needs to compare more than two locations they have the option to download the data in CSV format and conduct another search.
