Land Types define the broad soil grouping and dominant geologic and topographic setting of Soil Landscape Map Units. There are 29 Land Types within 14 geomorphic groups which have been described across southern South Australia. Each Soil Landscape Unit has an assigned Land Type, indicating the dominant nature of the map unit.

A database of Tasmanian geological, geomorphological (landform), and pedological (soil) sites, features, areas and systems considered to be of significant conservation, scientific or heritage value. Site values are classified according to formative process into 81 types, which are further subdivided by geological age. Multiple values may be attributed to a site. Values are assigned significance on a five level scale ranging from local to global. Significance is determined by an expert panel, the Tasmanian Geoconservation Database Reference Group, which assesses site nominations on behalf of DPIPWE. Site entries contain a text description, statement of significance, an indication of susceptibility to potential threats, management notes and references amongst other details. Spatial data defining site extent is associated and images are progressively being added. The LIST presents a highly abridged version of the full Natural Values Atlas dataset. The LIST version is updated weekly.

This data set classifies the actual coastline (ie mean high water mark) in terms of the natural controls on major coastal landform development which are: time, bedrock geology, coastal profile, exposure to climate and geomorphic process. Classifying the coast this way divides the coast into segments known as 'georegions'. Each georegion has its own characteristic assemblage of land forms and is subject to a characteristic suite of environmental influences (processes). This regionalisation provides a predictive tool allowing us to determine the effect of activities or changes on the coastline.Please note that while only the coastline (ie mean high water mark) is depicted the classification represents the intertidal zone and the immediate near and back shore areas as well as the mean high water mark itself.

Biophysical Regions represent the largest grouping of Soil Landscape Map Units within the SA soil and land mapping hierarchy. These cover broad geographical areas, recognisable at the state-scale (i.e. Eyre peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Northern, Central, Murray Mallee, Kangaroo Island, South East). Biophysical Regions are differentiated by the general nature of soils, landscapes, geology, native vegetation, climate and land use.

The Land Tenure data set contains a representation of the commonly accepted land tenure classifications for Tasmania. Tenure Classifications include Crown Land, Private Land, Local Government and other Statutory Authority Land, Reserved Land, Conservation Covenants, Private Reserves, Permanent Timber Production Zone Land (formerly State Forest). Future Potential Production Forest (FPPF) land is also distinguished where it overlaps Crown and HEC land. This dataset depicts the full extent of classifications and as some or coastal reserve boundaries extend to Low Water Mark, and in some cases include areas of estuary or sea. These classifications generally conform to those represented on the TASMAP Land Tenure Map.

Land Systems (based upon groupings of Soil Landscape Map Units) are broad and readily recognisable landscape areas defined by particular and distinctive patterns of land use, geology, topography, soils and vegetation within a limited climatic range. A Land System Report is available for each Land System.

A grid surface delineating soil drainage classes (Very poor, Poor, Imperfect, Moderate, Well, Rapid) for land areas across Tasmania at a spatial resolution of 30m.

Fifteen soil groups have been identified across southern South Australia, which are groupings of 61 soils (soil types). Mapping shows the most common soil group, while more detailed proportion data are supplied for calculating respective areas of each soil group (spatial data statistics).

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Australian Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment, Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping and Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW. Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.
