These new data are available in both state-wide tiles and the Conterminous U.S. (CONUS) at a resolution of 10 meters in a file geodatabase format. Additional resolutions of 30 meters and 90 meters are available for the CONUS gSSURGO database.

The national gSSURGO Value Added Look Up (valu) Table Database includes: ready-to-map themes such as available water storage and soil organic carbon in (11) standard depth layers and zones; crop root zone depths; available water storage in the crop root zone; drought vulnerable soil landscapes; and potential wetland soil landscapes. A revised gSSURGO user guide is also included.

These data are available for download or portable media order from the USDA Geospatial Data Gateway. A new release is planned for each Federal fiscal year.
