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... -
Land Systems of Southern South Australia (soil landscapes)
Land Systems (based upon groupings of Soil Landscape Map Units) are broad and readily recognisable landscape areas defined by particular and distinctive patterns of land use,... -
Functional Hierarchy for South Australia's Land Transport Network
The functional hierarchy identifies which corridors are important for different modes of transport. It will guide the use of road and rail space to improve safety and efficiency... -
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... -
Land Use Potential for Dryland Subterranean Clover
Land use potential for Dryland Subterranean Clover: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert... -
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... -
Land Use Potential for Lavender
Land use potential for Lavender: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant... -
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... -
Subsurface Soil Acidity (ASRIS)
Soils are classified according to the pH of the subsurface layer. Subsurface soil refers to the layer immediately below the surface, and typically has a depth range of 10-20... -
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... -
Land Use Potential for Dryland Perennial Ryegrass
Land use potential for Dryland Perennial Ryegrass: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert... -
Land Use Potential for Triticale
Land use potential for Triticale: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant... -
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... -
Land Use Potential for Dryland Lucerne (acid soil tolerant)
Land use potential for Dryland Lucerne (acid soil tolerant): based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from... -
Land Use Potential for Dryland Phalaris
Land use potential for Dryland Phalaris: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of... -
Future Acidification Potential (ASRIS)
Future acidification potential is a term which applies to soils which are not currently acidic (or prone to acidification in the short term), but could conceivably become acidic... -
