Soil Landscape Mapping - Western Australia attributed by WA Soil Group (DPIRD-076)
Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development
Soil-landscape mapping covering Western Australia at the best available scale (Version February 2019) attributed with the proportional allocation of WA Soil Groups to each map... -
Soil Rootzone Depth Potential CA - Sensitive horticultural crops (e.g....
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
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... -
Soil Sensor Locations
This dataset contains the locations of where soil sensors have been deployed across the city. The readings are stored in the soil sensor readings dataset. The sensors take a... -
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... -
Subsoil Carbonate
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
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... -
Depth to Hardpan (soils)
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... -
Soil Water Erosion Potential
Water erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to sheet or rill erosion due to overland flow of... -
Acid Sulfate Soil Potential
Acid sulfate soil potential mapping shows the proportion of land susceptible to the development of acid sulfate soils, while detailed proportion data are supplied for... -
Current and Future Potential Soil Acidity (ASRIS)
Combines the assessment of soils that are currently acidic (or prone to acidification in the short term) and soils that are not currently recognised as acid prone, but could... -
Soils (soil type)
Sixty one soils (soil types) represent the range of soils found across South Australia’s agricultural lands. Mapping shows the most common soil within each map unit, while more... -
Soil Available Waterholding Capacity
Available waterholding capacity refers to the potential volume (on a per unit area basis, expressed in mm) within the rootzone of a soil that can be filled by rainfall or... -
Soil Salinity - Non-watertable
Non-watertable salinity (or dry saline land) is where soil contains elevated levels of soluble salts that are not associated with a watertable. Mapping shows the degree of non-... -
Soil Water Repellence
Water repellence, or non-wetting, due to coating of soil particles by waxy materials from the breakdown of plant debris can result in water beading on the surface, uneven... -
Flooding Susceptibility (soils)
Susceptibility to flooding imposes a serious limitation on land especially where infrastructure is required. Mapping shows the proportion of land susceptible to flooding, while...
