The Forest Monitoring Steering Committee commissioned a consortium between the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment and the University of Sydney to deliver Baselines, Drivers and Trends for soil stability and health in forest catchments across the NSW Regional Forest Agreement areas.

Spatial outputs of this project are presented in this webapp.
Model Information:
Empirical Soil Maps: Soil data collected using an empirical approach, presented on 2162 units, based on the unit's most representative soil profile available within the Soil and Land Information System (SALIS). Maps reflect values when the sampling occurred with temporal changes not being accounted for.Baseline Soil Maps: Digital Soil Modelling (DSM) outputs describing the baseline conditions of key indicators of soil condition, based on quantitative modelling techniques that relate known soil qualities with known environmental qualities and extrapolates using continuous environmental data.Drivers & Trends: Maps describing trends of soil quality indicators and the impact of key drivers of soil condition change, such as Climate Change, Land Disturbance, Bushfires etc. This includes DSM models and Data Cube models using machine learning techniques.More information and the underlying datasets can be found here.______For a User Guide for this Webapp, follow this link:User GuideTo leave feedback on your experience with this we site or its data, follow this link:NRC Contact PageTo leave feedback on your experience with the Spatial Collaboration Portal, follow this link (account creation required) :Spatial Collaboration Portal Feedback_______This webapp and associated webapps are part of the Forest Monitoring & Improvement ProgramMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleBaselines for Soil Health and Stability in NSW RFA RegionsContent TypeWeb ApplicationDescriptionThis webapp describes Baselines, Drivers and Trends for soil stability and health in forest catchments across the NSW Regional Forest Agreement areas.Initial Publication Date10/05/2022Data Currency10/05/2022Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceFile TypeMap Feature
