Land use potential for Mallee Saltbush (Rhagodia preissii): based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from...

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...

Recharge potential mapping shows the proportion of land with high to moderate potential for water to access groundwater systems via the soil. Detailed map unit proportion data...

Deep drainage refers to the capacity of the deep subsoil and the material immediately below the soil profile to allow excess water to move downwards into deep sediments or...

Non-watertable salinity (or dry saline land) is where soil contains elevated levels of soluble salts that are not associated with a watertable. Mapping shows the degree of...

Land use potential for Lupins: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant...

Land use potential for Tar Bush (Eremophila glabra): based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert...

Hardpan is material that is too hard to dig with hand tools, that has formed in-situ within or below a soil. Mapping shows the average estimated depth to hardpan, while detailed...

Scalding refers to land, primarily in low rainfall environments, where the surface soil has been eroded to expose sub-surface material that is unsuited to plant growth. Mapping...

Aluminium toxicity in plants can occur even at low concentrations. While present in most soils, the availability of aluminium to plants is highly pH dependent. Mapping shows the...

Land use potential for Potatoes: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant...

Land use potential for Grape Vines: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant...

Land use potential for Dryland Lucerne: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of...

Exposure to harsh winds and sun, as determined by local topography and prevailing winds, can impede plant growth. Mapping shows the highest degree of exposure in a map unit...

Alkalinity is usually an inherent characteristic of soils, and alkaline soils are largely confined to areas with less than 400 mm annual rainfall. Mapping shows surface and...

Surface rockiness mapping describes the overall amount of surface stones and outcropping rock, in the context of management implications for farming. Mapping shows the estimated...

Waterlogging susceptibility describes the degree and duration of impact to soils, and hence plants, arising from poor drainage. Mapping indicates the most severely waterlogged...

Fine carbonates in soil reduce nutrient availability to plants, while hard carbonate (e.g. rubble or hard pans) can restrict root growth and soil waterholding capacity. Mapping...

Gully erosion refers to areas affected by erosion channels (more than 30 cm deep) originating from natural watercourses or artificial drainage features. Mapping shows the...

Structure of subsoil provides an indication of impediments to root, and hence plant, growth due to poorly structured subsoils. Mapping shows the most limiting subsoil structure...
