Subsoil Acidity (ASRIS)
Soils are classified according to the pH of the subsoil layer. Subsoil is defined as the depth range 30-80 cm. Rankings are made according to pH measurements and extrapolation... -

Land use potential for Barley: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant... -
Soil Gully Erosion
Gully erosion refers to areas affected by erosion channels (more than 30 cm deep) originating from natural watercourses or artificial drainage features. Mapping shows the... -
Surface Rockiness (soils)
Surface rockiness mapping describes the overall amount of surface stones and outcropping rock, in the context of management implications for farming. Mapping shows the estimated... -

Soil Waterlogging Susceptibility
Waterlogging susceptibility describes the degree and duration of impact to soils, and hence plants, arising from poor drainage. Mapping indicates the most severely waterlogged... -
Soil Rootzone Depth Potential CD - Root crops (e.g. potatoes, carrots, onions)
Potential rootzone depth for irrigated horticultural crops is affected by a range of soil parameters (e.g. soil physical condition, hard rock or hardpan, soluble salts, boron... -
Soil Exposure
Exposure to harsh winds and sun, as determined by local topography and prevailing winds, can impede plant growth. Mapping shows the highest degree of exposure in a map unit... -
Soil Salinity - Non-watertable (magnesia patches)
Non-watertable salinity (or dry saline land) is where soil contains elevated levels of soluble salts that are not associated with a watertable. Magnesia patches occur where high... -
