Table 1 List of variables provided via iSDAsoil and average accuracy performance based on the fivefold spatial cross-validation (R-square, RMSE and Concordance Correlation Coefficient). Extractable elements are based on Mehlich-3 method. *Statistics based on the ln-transformed values. See also Supplementary material for detailed summary statistics per variable.
