Abstract:
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. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). Detailed information about the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia can be found at https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/index.html
