Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - pH (Water) (3" resolution) - Release 1

This is Version 1 of the Australian pH (Water) product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.

The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of soil pH (1:5 soil water solution) in soils across Australia.

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. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels).
