This is Version 2 of the Australian Soil Organic Carbon product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of total organic carbon in soils across Australia. It supersedes the Release 1 product that can be found at https://doi.org/10.4225/08/547523BB0801A The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm and 100-200 cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project - GlobalSoilMaps. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels).
