The utility of dust as a forensic provenancing material. Exploring...
Environmental DNA (eDNA), elemental and mineralogical analyses of soil have been shown to be specific to their source material, prompting consideration of the use of dust for... -
The secret hidden in dust: Uncovering the potential to use metabarcoding of...
The ubiquitous nature of dust, along with localised chemical and biological signatures, makes it an ideal medium for provenance determination in a forensic context.... -
Soil Gully Erosion
Department for Environment and Water
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)
Department for Environment and Water
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 Rootzone Depth Potential CA - Sensitive horticultural crops (e.g....
Department for Environment and Water
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 Recharge Potential
Department for Environment and Water
Recharge potential mapping shows the proportion of land with high to moderate potential for water to access groundwater systems via the soil. Detailed map unit proportion data... -
Subsoil Carbonate
Department for Environment and Water
Fine carbonates in soil reduce nutrient availability to plants, while hard carbonate (e.g. rubble or hard pans) can restrict root growth and soil waterholding capacity. Mapping... -
Soil Waterlogging Susceptibility
Department for Environment and Water
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
Department for Environment and Water
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)
Department for Environment and Water
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... -
Depth to Hardpan (soils)
Department for Environment and Water
Hardpan is material that is too hard to dig with hand tools, that has formed in-situ within or below a soil. Mapping shows the average estimated depth to hardpan, while detailed... -
