Soil condition is a product of numerous physical and chemical attributes and processes, and was assessed using a number of key indicators: sheet erosion, gully erosion, wind erosion, soil acidity, soil organic carbon, soil structure, soil salinity and acid sulfate soils. It may be interpreted as the soil's ability to deliver ecosystem services and is rated for each of eight indicators from 5 (at or better than reference, natural or pristine condition) to 1 (very degraded). The shapefile gives results for 124 Soil Monitoring Units (SMUs) including (i) the overall Soil Condition index, (ii) the worst rated indicator and its index, and (iii) the worst rated indicator which is rated poor or worse and therefore of concern.
