Traditional soil maps have helped us to better understand soil, to form our concepts and to teach and transfer our ideas about it, and so they have been used for many purposes. Although, soil maps are... more available in many countries, there is a need for them to be updated because they are often deficient in that their spatial delineations and their descriptions are subjective and lack assessments of uncertainty. Updating them is a priority for federal soil surveys worldwide as well as for research, teaching and communication. New data from sensors and quantitative ‘digital’ methods provide us with the tools to do so. Here, we present an approach to update large scale, national soil maps with data derived from a combination of traditional soil profile classifications, classifications made with visible–near infrared (vis–NIR) spectroscopy, and digital soil class mapping (DSM). Our results present an update of the Australian Soil Classification (ASC) orders map. The overall error rate of the DSM model, tested on an independent validation set, was 55.6%, and a few of the orders were poorly classified. We discuss the possible reasons for these errors, but argue that compared to the previous ASC maps, our classification was derived objectively, using currently best available data sets and methods, the classification model was interpretable in terms of the factors of soil formation, the modelling produced a 1×1 km resolution soil map with estimates of spatial uncertainty for each soil order and our map has no artefacts at state and territory borders.less

Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Total size before compression: about 8GB; Total size after compression: about 4GB; Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 (CC By); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: GeoTIFF.less
1181.2 TERN Facility No9 InfoGrid GRUNDY - National Soil Grid - Published 19 Mar 2018
These are products of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia Facility generated through disaggregation of the Western Australian soil mapping. There are 9 soil attribute products available from the ... moreSoil Facility: Available Water Holding Capacity - Volumetric (AWC); Bulk Density - Whole Earth (BDw); Bulk Density - Fine Earth (BDf); Clay (CLY); Course Fragments (CFG); Electrical Conductivity (ECD); pH Water (pHw); Sand (SND); Silt (SLT). Each soil attribute product is a collection of 6 depth slices. Each depth raster has an upper and lower uncertainty limit raster associated with it. The depths provided are 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm & 100-200cm, consistent with the Specifications of the GlobalSoilMap. The DSMART tool (Odgers et al. 2014) tool was used in a downscaling process to translate legacy soil landscape mapping to 3” resolution (approx. 100m cell size) raster predictions of soil classes (Holmes et al. Submitted). The soil class maps were then used to produce corresponding soil property surfaces using the PROPR tool (Odgers et al. 2015; Odgers et al. Submitted). Legacy mapping was compiled for the state of WA from surveys ranging in map scale from 1:20,000 to 1:2,000,000 (Schoknecht et al., 2004). The polygons are attributed with the soils and proportions of soils within polygons however individual soils were not explicitly spatially defined. These new disaggregated map products aim to incorporate expert soil surveyor knowledge embodied in legacy polygon soil maps, while providing re-interpreted soil spatial information at a scale that is more suited to on-ground decision making. Note: The DSMART-derived dissagregated legacy soil mapping products provide different spatial predictions of soil properties to the national TERN Soil Grid products derived by Cubist (data mining) and kriging based on site data by Viscarra Rossel et al. (Submitted). Where they overlap, the national prediction layers and DSMART products can be considered complementary predictions. They will offer varying spatial reliability (/ uncertainty) depending on the availability of representative site data (for national predictions) and the scale and expertise of legacy mapping. The national predictions and DSMART disaggregated layers have also been merged as a means to present the best available (lowest statistical uncertainty) data from both products (Clifford et al. In Prep). Previous versions of this collection contained Depths layers. These have been removed as the units do not comply with Global Soil Map specifications.less
These products are derived from disaggregation of legacy soil mapping in the agricultural zone of South Australia using the DSMART tool (Odgers et al. 2014a); produced for the Soil and Landscape Grid ... moreof Australia Facility. There are 10 soil attribute products available from the Soil Facility: Available Water Capacity (AWC); Bulk Density - Whole Earth (BDw); Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC); Clay (CLY); Coarse Fragments (CFG); Electrical Conductivity (ECD); Organic Carbon (SOC); pH - CaCl2( pHc); Sand (SND); Silt (SLT). Each soil attribute product is a collection of 6 depth slices (except for effective depth and total depth). Each depth raster has an upper and lower uncertainty limit raster associated with it. The depths provided are 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm & 100-200cm, consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap. The DSMART tool was used in a downscaling process to translate legacy soil landscape mapping to 3” resolution (approx. 100m cell size) raster predictions of soil classes and corresponding soil properties. Legacy mapping was performed at 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 scales to delineate associated soils within polygons however individual soils were not explicitly spatially defined.

This is Version 1 of the Soil Depth product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. This depth ... moreproduct estimates the depth of soil down to 2 metres. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). The soil attribute products are provided as continuous maps that represent each of six depth intervals to a maximum depth of 2 metres. We acknowledge that soil depth is variable across Australia, and in some landscapes there might be no soil or soil might be shallower than 2 metres. We have provided continuous maps because of the relative unavailability of data on soil depth. Further, existing data on depth is biased to near surface layers and there are few records that extend beyond 1.5m. Therefore, we provide here, our best estimate of soil depth to allow users to generate masks, which might be used together with the attribute maps to approximate the presence of areas with no soil or areas with shallow soil. We encourage users to draw on local data and expertise for such assessments.

Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2... more000) was used to derive: • Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface • Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface) • Incoming long-wave radiation • Outgoing long-wave radiation • Net long-wave radiation • Net radiation • Sky view factor All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane. The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view. The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as 1x1 degree tiles in ESRI float grid format. 813 tiles make up the extent of Australia. The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18851 .

1181.2 TERN Facility No9 InfoGrid GRUNDY - SRAD solar radiation surfaces - Published 29 Jul 2016
Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2... more000) was used to derive: • Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface • Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface) • Incoming long-wave radiation • Outgoing long-wave radiation • Net long-wave radiation • Net radiation • Sky view factor All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane. The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view. The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as single (mosaicked) grids for Australia in TIFF format.
