Yarrangobilly Soil and Landscape Assessment |
Abstract |
This National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) tailored mapping product is the major deliverable of the Yarrangobilly Soil and Land Assessment project, in which the Soil and Landscape Assessment Team of DPIE’s Science, Economics and Insights Division was engaged to carry out a soil landscape assessment of the Yarrangobilly section of Kosciuszko National Park. This project was the result of multiple discussions, in particular the Alpine Research Prioritisation, in which baseline soil information was identified as the number two research priority. This product delivers a consistent and comprehensive layer of soil landscape information and maps of specific soil and land values, limitations and hazards, soil and landscape summary descriptions and related management advice to support effective park management and decision-making. In addition this product will assist in establishing a soil baseline to measure and predict likely changes in the soil resource into the future. Online Maps: This area is also covered by the mapping of Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW & ACT in eSPADE. eSPADE contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

Lineage |
This mapping used traditional soil survey techniques, incorporating the interpretation of remotely-sensed imagery (e.g. radiometrics, 5m digital elevation models and ADS40 and SPOT satellite/airborne imagery), Geological Survey of NSW Seamless Geology v.2, State Vegetation Type Mapping (Eastern NSW) v1.1, climatic data and other natural resource spatial datasets. Soil landscapes were mapped using ESRI ArcMap 10.4 GIS and digitized at a nominal scale of 1:10,000. Draft soil landscape from the Tumut 1:100,000 sheet was incorporated into the linework for north-western section of the project area. Information from two other existing soil landscape surveys in the area (OBSCRAS – Tantangara and Yarrangobilly and Murrumbidgee Soil Benchmarking Project - Tantangara and Yarrangobilly) were also used in the creation of the mapping product. Field work was carried out on November and December 2020. Soils were described from road/track batters, pits and augers with 89 additional soil profile descriptions collected during the investigation to support the limited existing information available. Site information was recorded and uploaded through eDIRT into the DPIE’s Soil and Landscape Information System (SALIS). Laboratory analysis, of both chemical and physical properties, was undertaken for many of the soil types identified. However limited access and weather prevented all map units from being visited and sampled for laboratory analysis. Results are viewable on eSPADE. For each of the 51 soil landscape map units, key values and limitations were described in the report, along with landscape and soil summaries, cross section landscape diagrams and soil profile details. Soil types are described using the Australian Soil Classification (ASC) and Great Soil Group (GSG) classifications. |

DQ Completeness Commission |
|
Effective date |
2021-12-22 |
Explanation |
Major soil types are generally described for each soil landscape map unit facet (component). Soil profile descriptions and laboratory analysis were collected for the most representative of these soil types in the unit. In some cases for areas with difficult access, very little to no soil profile descriptions may be available. In the GIS shapefile, all map units are labelled, assigned soil and landscape summaries and have an associated report. |
DQ Completeness Omission |
|
Effective date |
2021-12-22 |
Explanation |
For each map unit, only the main key limitations/risks were described in the report. The limitations/risks described vary between map units and therefore information gaps in the GIS attribute table naturally occur. |
DQ Conceptual Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2021-12-22 |
Explanation |
The map and reports have been checked for technical consistency and compliance with soil landscaping standards. Map unit concepts and polygons, major soil types and soil landscape descriptions were checked during fieldwork (where possible). Logical consistency of vector data was assessed at the time of map digitisation. |
DQ Topological Consistency |
|
Effective date |
2021-12-22 |
Explanation |
ArcGIS was used to remove all topological errors including unwanted gaps and overlapping polygons. A cluster tolerance of 0.000003 decimal degrees (~0.3 m) was set. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2021-12-22 |
Explanation |
Mapping is published at a scale 1:100,000, however digital captured of map unit linework was collected at a much finer resolution (~1:10,000). Therefore linework has a theoretical accuracy of around 100m on the ground but much better especially for alluvial units. GPS devices with an accuracy of about 4-8 m were used to identify the location of all new soil profiles collected during the project. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Effective date |
2021-12-22 |
Explanation |
Details about how non qualitative attribute data was assessed is provided in final project report. Confidence is greater for this data if field checking and investigations have occurred. Each map unit report, identifies if this process was conducted and is also recorded in the GIS shapefile mapping. |
