Funded Activity Summary

Digital soil mapping: a contribution to the resolution of the soil information crisis. Soil mapping is a key part of land-resource assessment for sustainable environmental management. Australia and the world have a soil information crisis - the soil is not mapped at sufficient resolution for effective management. This is mainly caused by the large expense of conventional soil survey. This project aims to develop a radical and robust, quantitative and cost-effective methodology for digital soil mapping. We will test and modify the approach in two areas in eastern Australia and transfer the methodology and products to the scientific community, and agencies charged with the responsibility for soil assessment.
