<p>This is Version 1 of the Australian Soil Bulk Density - Whole Earth product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. It is superseded by: <a href="../../../metadata/TERN/95978aec-6ba8-446b-a721-2b875d9f61a8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Bulk Density - Whole Earth - Release 2</a>.</p> <p>The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm and 100-200cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (http://www.globalsoilmap.net/). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). These maps are generated by combining the best available Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) products available across Australia. Attribute Definition: Bulk Density of the whole soil (including coarse fragments) in mass per unit volume by a method equivalent to the core method; Units: g/cm3; Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Total size before compression: about 8GB; Total size after compression: about 4GB; Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY); Variance explained (cross-validation): 0.4%; Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: GeoTIFF.</p>
