Soil Exposure
Department for Environment and Water
Exposure to harsh winds and sun, as determined by local topography and prevailing winds, can impede plant growth. Mapping shows the highest degree of exposure in a map unit... -
Land Systems of Southern South Australia (soil landscapes)
Department for Environment and Water
Land Systems (based upon groupings of Soil Landscape Map Units) are broad and readily recognisable landscape areas defined by particular and distinctive patterns of land use,... -
Soil Salinity - Non-watertable (magnesia patches)
Department for Environment and Water
Non-watertable salinity (or dry saline land) is where soil contains elevated levels of soluble salts that are not associated with a watertable. Magnesia patches occur where high... -
Depth to Hardpan (soils)
Department for Environment and Water
Hardpan is material that is too hard to dig with hand tools, that has formed in-situ within or below a soil. Mapping shows the average estimated depth to hardpan, while detailed... -
Land Use Potential for Dryland Subterranean Clover
Department for Environment and Water
Land use potential for Dryland Subterranean Clover: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert... -
Soil Wind Erosion Potential
Department for Environment and Water
Provides a numeric rating in each raster cell of the potential for wind erosion in the event that vegetation or other ground cover has been removed. The assessment is based on... -
Soil Water Erosion Potential
Department for Environment and Water
Water erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to sheet or rill erosion due to overland flow of... -
Acid Sulfate Soil Potential
Department for Environment and Water
Acid sulfate soil potential mapping shows the proportion of land susceptible to the development of acid sulfate soils, while detailed proportion data are supplied for... -
Land Use Potential for Lavender
Department for Environment and Water
Land use potential for Lavender: based on soil and landscape attributes only. The relative potential to sustain particular crops is predicted from expert assessment of plant... -
Current and Future Potential Soil Acidity (ASRIS)
Department for Environment and Water
Combines the assessment of soils that are currently acidic (or prone to acidification in the short term) and soils that are not currently recognised as acid prone, but could... -
Subsurface Soil Acidity (ASRIS)
Department for Environment and Water
Soils are classified according to the pH of the subsurface layer. Subsurface soil refers to the layer immediately below the surface, and typically has a depth range of 10-20... -
Soils (soil type)
Department for Environment and Water
Sixty one soils (soil types) represent the range of soils found across South Australia’s agricultural lands. Mapping shows the most common soil within each map unit, while more... -

Soil Available Waterholding Capacity
Department for Environment and Water
Available waterholding capacity refers to the potential volume (on a per unit area basis, expressed in mm) within the rootzone of a soil that can be filled by rainfall or... -
Carbon Planting in South Australia
Department for Environment and Water
The Guide to Carbon Planting in South Australia contains a range of spatial data layers, summary maps and a report. It provides background information that may help guide... -
