Australian Soil Classification Map at 90-Meter Resolution

A 90-meter resolution map of Australian Soil Classification Soil Order classes was produced using Digital Soil Mapping technologies. The map integrates real-time soil attribute data from TERN's Soil Data Federation System and includes quantified estimates of mapping reliability. It was last updated on June 10, 2026.

Use Cases

• Model soil-water interactions based on soil order classifications.
• Assess land suitability for agriculture based on mapped soil classes.
• Validate and improve ecosystem models using quantified reliability estimates.
• Plan conservation and restoration projects using high-resolution soil data.

Strengths

• Provides a high-resolution 90-meter grid for detailed spatial analysis.
• Includes quantified estimates of mapping reliability for each prediction.
• Integrates real-time data from a federated soil data system.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified despite the 2026 update date.
