| Soil Water RepellenceWater repellence, or non-wetting, due to coating of soil particles by waxy materials from the breakdown of plant debris can result in water beading on the surface, uneven wetting and large masses of soil remaining dry. Mapping shows the proportion of land affected and degree of… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Soil Waterlogging SusceptibilityWaterlogging susceptibility describes the degree and duration of impact to soils, and hence plants, arising from poor drainage. Mapping indicates the most severely waterlogged areas (provided they occupy at least 30% of a map unit), while detailed proportion data are supplied… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Soil Wind Erosion PotentialWind erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to erosion by wind, which is particularly an issue on sand and sandy loam soils. Mapping shows the degree and variability of wind erosion potential, while… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Soil Wind Erosion PotentialProvides 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 mapping of terrain and spatial predictions of inherent soil erodibility characteristics. Also available… | GEOTIFF, HTML, PDF | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | no download |
| Soils (soil type)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 detailed proportion data are supplied for calculating respective areas of each soil type (spatial data… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| State Heritage AreasA state heritage area is a clearly defined region with outstanding natural or cultural elements significant to South Australia's development and identity. A state heritage area is notable for its distinct character or 'sense of place', formed by: - buildings and structures -… | GEOJSON, HTML, JPEG, KMZ +2 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Stormwater DrainsThe Stormwater Drains dataset has been derived by updating the 2005 dataset with data obtained from Local Government Councils. | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, MAP VIEWER +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Structure of Subsoil (degree of limitation)Structure of subsoil provides an indication of impediments to root, and hence plant, growth due to poorly structured subsoils. Mapping shows the most limiting subsoil structure condition (provided it accounts for at least 30% of a map unit), while detailed proportion data are… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Subsoil Acidity (ASRIS)Soils are classified according to the pH of the subsoil layer. Subsoil is defined as the depth range 30-80 cm. Rankings are made according to pH measurements and extrapolation between similar environments. The analysis is based on Soil Landscape Mapping of SA's agricultural… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 | |
| Subsoil CarbonateFine carbonates in soil reduce nutrient availability to plants, while hard carbonate (e.g. rubble or hard pans) can restrict root growth and soil waterholding capacity. Mapping shows the proportion of land with highly calcareous subsoils within 60 cm of the surface, while… | GEOJSON, HTML, KMZ, PDF +1 | CC-BY | 2020-02-18 |
