This is Version 2 of the Australian Soil Sand Content product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. It supersedes the Release 1 product that can be found at https://doi.org/10.4225/08/546F29646877E The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of sand in soils across Australia. 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: 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm and 100-200 cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/Resources/GlobalSoilMap_specifications_december_2015_2.pdf). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). Detailed information about the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia can be found at - https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/index.html Attribute Definition: 20 um - 2 mm mass fraction of the < 2 mm soil material determined using the pipette method; Units: %; Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2021; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90 m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications;
