Subsurface Soil Acidity (ASRIS)
Soils are classified according to the pH of the subsurface layer. Subsurface soil refers to the layer immediately below the surface, and typically has a depth range of 10-20... -
Soil Salinity - Non-watertable (magnesia patches)
Non-watertable salinity (or dry saline land) is where soil contains elevated levels of soluble salts that are not associated with a watertable. Magnesia patches occur where high... -
Physical Condition of Surface Soil
Physical condition of surface soil mapping highlights areas where plant growth may be impeded due to poor surface soil structure, predominantly due to a condition known as hard... -
Physical Condition of the Soil
Physical condition of soil provides an integrated view of various physical impediments to plant growth associated with surface soils, subsoils and other limitations (e.g.... -
Soil Groups
Fifteen soil groups have been identified across southern South Australia, which are groupings of 61 soils (soil types). Mapping shows the most common soil group, while more... -
Depth to Hard Rock (soils)
Hard rock is basement rock or bedrock that is too hard to dig with hand tools (and does not include hardpans). Mapping shows the average estimated depth to hard rock, while... -
Soil Rootzone Depth Potential CE - Above ground annual crops (e.g. brassicas)
Potential rootzone depth for irrigated horticultural crops is affected by a range of soil parameters (e.g. soil physical condition, hard rock or hardpan, soluble salts, boron... -
Soil Wind Erosion Potential
Wind erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to erosion by wind, which is particularly an issue on... -

Land use potential for Tall Scurf-pea (Cullen australasicum): based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from... -
Soil Rootzone Depth Potential CC - Hardy horticultural crops (e.g. grapes, ol...
Potential rootzone depth for irrigated horticultural crops is affected by a range of soil parameters (e.g. soil physical condition, hard rock or hardpan, soluble salts, boron... -
Soil Rootzone Depth Potential CD - Root crops (e.g. potatoes, carrots, onions)
Potential rootzone depth for irrigated horticultural crops is affected by a range of soil parameters (e.g. soil physical condition, hard rock or hardpan, soluble salts, boron... -
Soil Boron Toxicity (depth to toxic layer)
Boron is an essential trace element occurring naturally in soil, but is toxic to many agricultural plants at high concentrations. High boron levels are often associated with... -
