Soil condition monitoring MER 2008: final result map |
Abstract |
This ESRI shapefile with attribute table comprises final results for the Soil Condition theme from the 2008-2009 NSW Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting program. Soil condition is a product of numerous physical and chemical attributes and processes, and was assessed using a number of key indicators: sheet erosion, gully erosion, wind erosion, soil acidity, soil organic carbon, soil structure, soil salinity and acid sulfate soils. It may be interpreted as the soil's ability to deliver ecosystem services and is rated for each of eight indicators from 5 (at or better than reference, natural or pristine condition) to 1 (very degraded). The shapefile gives results for 124 Soil Monitoring Units (SMUs) including (i) the overall Soil Condition index, (ii) the worst rated indicator and its index, and (iii) the worst rated indicator which is rated poor or worse and therefore of concern. Full results are presented in the Technical Report: OEH (2014), Soil condition and land management in NSW: final results from the 2008-09 monitoring evaluation and reporting program, http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research-and-publications/publications-search/soil-condition-and-land-management-in-new-south-wales |

Lineage |
Soil Monitoring Units were based on groupings of previously mapped soil-landscape units with similar land management issues. Source data was mostly collected in the field from 866 sites with laboratory test results from samples from 777 sites. MODIS satellite outputs and digital air photos as well as existing mapping sources were also used for the erosion and salinity indicators. Data for each indicator at each site was allocated a soil condition class from a rule based set of functional thresholds including reference/natural condition. The resulting class values were then aggregated by spatial entities and indicators for reporting |
