Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Drained Upper Limit Volumetric Water Content (Percent) (3 arc second resolution) Version 1

Created 20/10/2024

Updated 20/10/2024

This is Version 1 of the Australian Drained Upper Limit Volumetric Water Content (DUL) product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.

The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of DUL soil hydraulic property in soils across Australia.

The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm and 100-200cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/Resources/GlobalSoilMap_specifications_december_2015_2.pdf). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels).
