Brief description
This is Version 1 of the Australian Soil Clay product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of 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: 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm and 100-200cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (http://www.globalsoilmap.net/). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels).
These maps are generated by combining the best available Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) products available across Australia.
Attribute Definition: 2 μm mass fraction of the less than 2 mm soil material determined using the pipette method;

Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013;
Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m);
Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18;
Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800);
Total size before compression: about 8GB;
Total size after compression: about 4GB;

Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications;
Format: GeoTIFF.
Lineage: The National Soil Attribute Maps are generated by combining the best available digital soil mapping to calculate a variance weighted mean for each pixel. Two DSM methods have been utilised across and in various parts of Australia, these being:
1) Decision trees with piecewise linear models with kriging of residuals developed from soil site data across Australia. (Viscarra Rossel et al., 2015a);
2) Disaggregation of existing polygon soil mapping using DSMART (Odgers et al. 2015a).
Version 1 of the National Digital Soil Property Maps combines mapping from the:
1) Australia-wide three-dimensional Digital Soil Property Maps;
2) Western Australia Polygon Disaggregation Maps;
3) South Australian Agricultural Areas Polygon Disaggregation Maps;
4) Tasmanian State-wide DSM Maps.
These individual mapping products are also available in the Data Access Portal. Please refer to these individual products for more detail on the DSM methods used.
