Soil Surface Carbonate
Department for Environment and Water
Surface carbonate often occurs as finely divided particles which reduce nutrient availability to plants and retard the degradation of some herbicides. Mapping shows the... -
Surface Soil Texture
Department for Environment and Water
Surface texture (which refers to approximate clay content) influences many important soil qualities such as waterholding capacity, fertility and erodibility. Mapping shows the... -
Soil Boron Toxicity (proportion of land affected)
Department for Environment and Water
Boron is an essential trace element occurring naturally in soil, but is toxic to many agricultural plants at high concentrations. High boron levels are often associated with... -

Department for Environment and Water
Land use potential for Irrigated Pasture (best rating of Irrigated: Lucerne, High Value Perennial Ryegrass, Perennial Ryegrass; White Clover): based on soil and landscape... -
Soil Groups
Department for Environment and Water
Fifteen soil groups have been identified across southern South Australia, which are groupings of 61 soils (soil types). Mapping shows the most common soil group, while more... -
Soil Deep Drainage Potential
Department for Environment and Water
Deep drainage refers to the capacity of the deep subsoil and the material immediately below the soil profile to allow excess water to move downwards into deep sediments or... -

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... -
Structure of Subsoil (degree of limitation)
Department for Environment and Water
Structure of subsoil provides an indication of impediments to root, and hence plant, growth due to poorly structured subsoils. Mapping shows the most limiting subsoil structure... -

Soil Boron Toxicity (depth to toxic layer)
Department for Environment and Water
Boron is an essential trace element occurring naturally in soil, but is toxic to many agricultural plants at high concentrations. High boron levels are often associated with... -
Depth to Watertable (soils)
Department for Environment and Water
Depth to watertable mapping highlights land where watertables may be sufficiently shallow on a seasonal basis to affect plant growth. It is intended to describe soil conditions... -
