Water Erosion risk mapping derived from land quality attribution associated with soil-landscape mapping at the subsystem/phase level. See Resource Management Technical Report 298, Section 2.15, Department of Agriculture, 2005.

Wind erosion hazard was digitally mapped as part of the DPIPWE Water for Profit Program to enhance identification of Enterprise Suitability by effectively incorporating a sustainability measure of vulnerable soils. The mapping shows areas where a wind erosion hazard might exist if sufficient groundcover is not maintained, which could lead to soil resource degradation through soil, organic matter and nutrient loss after significant wind events. Assigned classes are; Nil, Low, Moderate and High as classified ratings of a wind erosion index. The index was generated by combining Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) inputs of the soil properties Coarse Fragments, Sand %, Clay %, Organic Carbon %, Soil Structure, with ratings developed by the DPIPWE Land Degradation and Salinity Risk assessments. The mapping covers the entire state of Tasmania at 30m resolution.

This dataset is a ranking of estimated wind erosion risk for agricultural lands. Agricultural lands are defined here as those areas under cropping and grazing. The dataset was created in a multi-criteria analysis by combining (i) a modelled map of wind erosion severity for the period 2000 to 2010, (ii) an index map of the total soil nutrient loss, and (iii) maps of ‘room for improvement’ in ground cover management on agricultural lands within natural resource management (NRM) regions. It was developed to be used with a priority ranking for each NRM region to locate where in a NRM region the wind erosion investment area is and its priority. Definition of classes 1. Low risk of wind erosion for agricultural land 2. Moderate risk of wind erosion for agricultural land 3. High risk of wind erosion for agricultural land Detail on how the dataset was created is in Leys et al. (2017).

Land instability risk is a land quality which may impact upon rural-residential development and related land uses and is based on analysis and interpretation of the best available soil-landscape mapping dataset (DPIRD-027). See DAFWA Resource Management Technical Report 298 for a description of the qualities assessed and the methodology involved.

Wind erosion potential, based on Soil Landscape Map Units of Southern South Australia, describes the susceptibility of land to erosion by wind, which is particularly an issue on sand and sandy loam soils. Mapping shows the degree and variability of wind erosion potential, while detailed proportion data are supplied for calculating respective areas of each wind erosion potential class (spatial data statistics).
