A collection of high-resolution soil attribute grid surfaces for land areas in Tasmania. There are 17 soil attribute products available that delineate specific soil properties at standardized soil depths (0-5cm, 0-15cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm & 100-200cm) and grid resolutions (30m and 80m grid resolutions). Soil attributes available include Available Water Capacity (AWC, %), Bulk Density (BD, Mg/m3), Soil Texture (Clay; Sand; Silt, %), Coarse Fragments (CF, %), Soil Depth (cm), Soil Drainage, Electrical Conductivity (EC/ECse, dS/m), Field Capacity (FC), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC, %), Soil Permeability, pH, Exchangeable Calcium (ExCa, ppm), Exchangeable Magnesium (ExMg, ppm) and Depth to Sodic layer (Sodic Depth, cm). A document that describes each dataset and associated nomenclature can be accessed here: https://nrmdatalibrary.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/FactSheets/WfW/ListMapUserNotes/Inventory_DSM_Tas.pdf Note that these products were developed using datasets held by the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries Parks Water & Environment (DPIPWE) Soils Database, hosted on the Tasmanian Natural Values Atlas (https://www.naturalvaluesatlas.tas.gov.au/). The mapping was made by using spatial modelling and digital soil mapping (DSM) techniques with the outputs available via a Web Map Service (WMS): https://spatial.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/naturalassets/Soil/wms Or viewed in the following Web Map application: https://arcg.is/4PaT8
