Which parameters are taken into account?

These new layers should be very useful tools for agriculture and water supply. It's an impressive job.
But which parameters are used. Does the different type of soils / plant covers all over the world are considered?
May we have more information about these parameters?

@idefix37 Hello! We appreciate your interest in new drought monitoring layers. Soil types and plant cover are considered. The current model uses vegetation information from ERA5-Land and information about the soil types based on the SoilGrids product.
