Soil Characterisation Site dataset contains over 1,100 representative sites across South Australia, where descriptions by soil scientists have been made of morphology, chemical and physical properties, and landscape features of a range of soils. At these sites, backhoe or excavator pits were dug to depths of 150-200 cm. Profiles were photographed and described. This information is available in Soil Characterisation Site Data Sheets.
