Abstract Soil temperature is a fundamental variable for the Earth system, yet it remains highly sensitive to climate change, particularly in tropical regions such as Brazil. Despite its importance, no bias-corrected soil temperature dataset based on the latest CMIP6 projections is currently available for the country. Climate projections are model-dependent and often exhibit systematic biases, which makes bias correction an essential step for subsequent applications.

1 Introduction Soil erosion is a severe form of land degradation, negatively impacting soil quality, biodiversity, food production, and water quality (Bagarello, Ferro, and Flanagan 2018; Roy et al. 2023). This degradation broadly affects the ecosystem functions and services provided by soil, vegetation, and water resource systems, ultimately threatening human well-being and the global climatic system (Prăvălie 2021).
