Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Soil Colour (3" resolution) - Release 1

Created 20/10/2024

Updated 20/10/2024

We used Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) technologies combined with collations of observed soil colour data from TERN's Soil Data Federation System, to produce surface and subsoil maps of soil colour at a 90m resolution.

The map gives an estimate of the spatial distribution of RGB soil colour across Australia.
