Land Types of Southern South Australia (soil landscapes)
Department for Environment and Water
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 Aluminium Toxicity
Department for Environment and Water
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... -
