Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Soil Depth (3" resolution) - Release 1
<p>This is Version 1 of the Soil Depth product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.</p>
<p>It is superseded by the Release 2 product that can be found at: <span data-sheets-root="1"><a href="../../../metadata/TERN/fa8f70ba-4134-4678-b5f6-e51d0628c35d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Soil Depth (3" resolution) - Release 2</a>.</span></p>
<p>The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. This depth product estimates the depth of soil down to 2 metres. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). The soil attribute products are provided as continuous maps that represent each of six depth intervals to a maximum depth of 2 metres. We acknowledge that soil depth is variable across Australia, and in some landscapes there might be no soil or soil might be shallower than 2 metres. We have provided continuous maps because of the relative unavailability of data on soil depth. Further, existing data on depth is biased to near surface layers and there are few records that extend beyond 1.5m. Therefore, we provide here, our best estimate of soil depth to allow users to generate masks, which might be used together with the attribute maps to approximate the presence of areas with no soil or areas with shallow soil. We encourage users to draw on local data and expertise for such assessments. Attribute Definition: Depth of soil profile (A & B horizons); Units: metres; Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 3; 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); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: GeoTIFF.</p>

- Statement
- <p>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).</p>
