TERN Geospatial Catalogue
Australian Soil Classification Map
We used Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) technologies combined with the real-time collations of soil attribute data from TERN's recently developed Soil Data Federation System, to produce a map of Australian Soil Classification Soil Order classes with quantified estimates of mapping reliability at a 90m resolution.

- Purpose
- The map gives an estimate of the spatial distribution of soil types across Australia.
- Credit
- The observed data used to produce this map was obtained from state and federal soil survey agencies. <br> The work was supported by TERN. <br> CSIRO maintains and makes the data through the Australian Soil Resource Information System.
