The Australian Soil Resources Information System (ASRIS) database compiles the best publicly available information across Commonwealth, State, and Territory agencies into a national of soil profile data, digital land resources maps, climate, terrain, lithology datasets. These datasets are described in detail this paper. Most thematic grids that cover intensively used agricultural zones Australia.
Soil erodibility represents the soil’s response to rainfall and run-off erosivity is related soil properties such as organic matter content, texture, structure, permeability aggregate stability. an important factor in erosion modelling, Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE), which it represented by (K-factor). However, determination of at larger spatial scales often problematic because lack data on field measurements for model validation. Recently, a major national project has resulted...
Soil landscapes and their component facets (or sub-units) are fundamental information for land capability assessment use planning. The aim of the study was to delineate soil landscape from readily available digital elevation models (DEM) assist constraint urban regional planning in coastal areas New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Compound Topographic Index (CTI) surfaces were computed 25 m DEM using a D-infinity algorithm. cumulative frequency distribution CTI values within each examined...
A new evaluation scheme, land management within capability (LMwC), used to guide sustainable in New South Wales (NSW), is presented. The scheme semi-quantitatively categorises the potential impacts of specific land-management actions and compares these with inherent physical relation a range land-degradation hazards. This leads derivation LMwC indices, which signify sustainability practices at scale individual sites up broader regions. can be identify lands greatest risk from various It help...
Abstract The NSW Soil Knowledge Network (SKN) is a small group of senior ex‐government soil scientists concerned that more needs to be done improve management and stem land degradation with on‐ground extension training workshops. Widespread attendance positive feedback from SKN courses workshops indicate their success confirm strong demand for practical independent advice aided by government‐based databases enhance on‐site We argue effective knowledge transfer requires interaction discussion...
In this study, hillslope erosion risk has been estimated for all eastern New South Wales (NSW) catchments, Australia using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. Rainfall-runoff erosivity (R) factor was interpolated from NSW rainfall-erosivity contour (isoerodent) data. erodibility (K) based on the soil regolith stability and sediment yield classification. The classification derived landscape related map slope length steepness (LS)...
Abstract A new approach to land capability assessment, termed soil and constraint has been developed carried out over an area of 60,000 km2 along the NSW coast in Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment eastern NSW. The system allows for generation maps that portray detail physical potential support a range uses, including standard residential development, agriculture domestic wastewater disposal. It involves semi-quantitative analysis soil-landscape constraints such as erosion, flood mass movement...
Understanding the dynamics of sediment transport and deposition in natural landscapes is critical developing cost-effective mitigation measures to control soil erosion protect ecosystems. Many empirical physically based models have been developed estimate delivery ratio (SDR) yield (SY), but few can be applied with complex geomorphology. In this case study, we a relative easy robust approach using index connectivity (IC), fuzzy logic landform model (FLAG) revised universal loss equation...
