This is Version 1 of the Soil Coarse Fragments product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. This product contains six digital soil attribute maps for each of three depth intervals, 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project http://www.globalsoilmap.net/. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). These maps are generated using Digital Soil Mapping methods Attribute Definition: Soil Coarse Fragments Class Probabilities as defined in the Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook Units: Probability of CF class occurring; Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2022; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Total size before compression: about 8GB; Total size after compression: about 4GB; Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY); Format: Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF.

This is Version 1 of the Soil Bacteria and Fungi Beta Diversity product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. These products provide estimates of the Beta Diversity of soil fungi and bacteria.

This is Version 2 of the Australian Soil Organic Carbon product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of total organic carbon in soils across Australia. It supersedes the Release 1 product that can be found at https://doi.org/10.4225/08/547523BB0801A 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).
