  abstract = {{S}oil has garnered global attention for its role in food security and climate change. {F}ine-scale soil-mapping techniques are urgently needed to support food, water, and biodiversity services. {A} global soil dataset integrated into an {E}arth observation system and supported by cloud computing enabled the development of the first global soil grid of six key properties at a 90-m spatial resolution. {A}ssessing them from environmental and socioeconomic perspectives, we demonstrated that 64% of the world's topsoils are primarily sandy, with low fertility and high susceptibility to degradation. {T}hese conditions limit crop productivity and highlight potential risks to food security. {R}esults reveal that approximately 900 {G}t of soil organic carbon ({SOC}) is stored up to 20 cm deep. {A}rid biomes store three times more {SOC} than mangroves based on total areas. {SOC} content in agricultural soils is reduced by at least 60 degrees%o compared to soils under natural vegetation. {M}ost agricultural areas are being fertilized while simultaneously experiencing a depletion of the carbon pool. {B}y integrating soil capacity with economic and social factors, we highlight the critical role of soil in supporting societal prosperity. {T}he top 10 largest countries in area per continent store 75 degrees%o of the global {SOC} stock. {H}owever, the poorest countries face rapid organic matter degradation. {W}e indicate an interconnection between societal growth and spatially explicit mapping of soil properties. {T}his soil-human nexus establishes a geographically based link between soil health and human development. {I}t underscores the importance of soil management in enhancing agricultural productivity and promotes sustainable-land-use planning.},
