Despite significant progress in digital soil mapping techniques and the rapid increase in observed soil information, quantitative linkages between soil, climate and biota remain unclear at global scale. By compiling a large global soil database, we mapped eight major soil properties based on machine learning algorithms and developed a global soil-climate-biome diagram. Our results suggest a co-evolution of soil, climate and biota under global environmental change.
