Digital soil mapping of several soil properties: Forest Hill Agricultural Research Station

Created 20/09/2025

Updated 20/09/2025

A soil survey was conducted at CSIRO’s “Forest Hill” research farm to support scientific research, land management, infrastructure planning, and development activities. This dataset complements Zund et al. (2024) that describes the main soil types and describes their morphological, chemical, and physical properties across the research farm. This dataset contains digital soil mapping outputs for a range of agronomically relevant attributes, including soil texture, whole-soil bulk density, pH, electrical conductivity, exchangeable cations, and total soil carbon and nitrogen. In this context, comprehensive digital soil mapping refers to three-dimensional (3D) mapping using model-based approaches, with explicit quantification of prediction uncertainty. Spatial predictions (and associated uncertainties) were made on a 10 m × 10 m raster grid. Zund, Peter; Cocks, Brett; & Malone, Brendan (2024): Forest Hill Agricultural Research Station Soil Map. v1.
