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... -
Soils (soil type)
Sixty one soils (soil types) represent the range of soils found across South Australia’s agricultural lands. Mapping shows the most common soil within each map unit, 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)
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... -
Land Types of Southern South Australia (soil landscapes)
Land Types define the broad soil grouping and dominant geologic and topographic setting of Soil Landscape Map Units. There are 29 Land Types within 14 geomorphic groups which... -
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... -
Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern SA
Soil Landscape Map Units have recognizable topographic features formed on a particular geological material and containing a limited and defined range of soils. They therefore... -
Soil Characterisation Sites
Soil Characterisation Site dataset contains over 1,100 representative sites across South Australia, where descriptions by soil scientists have been made of morphology, chemical... -
Biophysical Regions of Southern South Australia (soil landscapes)
Biophysical Regions represent the largest grouping of Soil Landscape Map Units within the SA soil and land mapping hierarchy. These cover broad geographical areas, recognisable... -
Land Use Potential for Chestnuts
Land use potential for Chestnuts: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant... -
Biophysical Land Zones of Kangaroo Island (soil landscapes)
Land Zones represent the third level grouping of Soil Landscape Map Units within a traditional hierarchy of soil and land mapping. Land zone mapping is only complete for... -
Land Systems of Southern South Australia (soil landscapes)
Land Systems (based upon groupings of Soil Landscape Map Units) are broad and readily recognisable landscape areas defined by particular and distinctive patterns of land use,... -
Land Use Potential for Canola
Land use potential for Canola: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant... -
