Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Effective Cation Exchange Capacity (3" resolution) - Release 1
This is Version 1 of the Australian Soil Effective Cation Exchange Capacity product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.<br><br>
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: 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm and 100-200 cm. 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).<br><br>
These maps are generated by combining the best available Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) products available across Australia.<br><br>

- Statement
- The National Soil Attribute Maps are generated by combining the best available digital soil mapping to calculate a variance weighted mean for each pixel. For this soil attribute the Australia-wide three-dimensional Digital Soil Property Maps are the only maps available. Thus the modelling for this soil attribute only used Decision trees with piecewise linear models with kriging of residuals developed from soil site data across Australia. (Viscarra Rossel et al., 2015a).
