SDBm Plus is a collection of programs incorporated into a menu-based interactive user interface to enter soils data into a database and manage the database. It is useful for storage of primary soils information assembled at national level, or data collected in subnational or local soil surveys. Data storage is greatly facilitated by the multilingual function providing help menus in English, French, Spanish and German. SDBm Plus is one of the components of FAO/AGLL’s GIS-based decision support tools for land resources analysis, and of the MicroLEIS land evaluation system. SDBm data can be used in various applications, including land evaluation for sustainable land use and management and soil monitoring.
