This dataset represents the average of the relative nutrient loss rates due to water erosion for the three nutrients total nitrogen, total phosphorus and soil organic carbon. The dataset is masked to cropping and grazing lands. The units are percentage/year. Relative nutrient loss is calculated as the annual loss of nutrient from the top 5 cm of soil relative to the total stock of each nutrient in the full depth of the soil profile. Annual erosion rate data are from Teng et al. (2016) and soil nutrient data are from the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. For a full description of the methods used to generate this datset see McKenzie et al. (2017).For raster data download follow link: Hillslope Erosion download To present the average relative nutrient loss rate data in Figure 4.5 in McKenzie et al. (2017), the data were divided into seven classes using percentiles as the class breaks. That is, 20 % of the grid cells fell into each of the first four classes, 10 % of the grid cells into the fifth class, and 5 % into each of the sixth and seventh classes. The actual average nutrient loss rate values which represent those class breaks are listed below:0-20th percentile: < 0.003 %/y20-40th percentile: 0.003 - 0.005 %/y40-60th percentile: 0.005 - 0.009 %/y60-80th percentile: 0.009 - 0.019 %/y80-90th percentile: 0.019 - 0.045 %/y90-95th percentile: 0.045 - 0.098 %/y95-100th percentile: > 0.098 %/yNOTE: The associated dataset is available on request to geospatial@dcceew.gov.au
