Soil Coarse Fragment Percentage for Topsoil Depth

Coarse fragments larger than 60mm are reported as a percentage of total soil material. The data covers soil depth from 0 to 15 centimeters. It is published by the Tasmania Government's The List Data and was last updated on May 11, 2026.

Use Cases

• Model soil water retention and drainage based on coarse fragment content.
• Assess land suitability for agriculture or construction based on topsoil stoniness.
• Calibrate remote sensing models for soil properties using ground-truth percentage data.
• Study the impact of coarse fragments on soil erosion and nutrient cycling.

Strengths

• Data specifies a precise measurement threshold for coarse fragments (>60mm diameter).
• The measurement depth interval (0-15cm) is clearly defined.
• The dataset was last updated in May 2026, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its source, Tasmania Government's The List Data.
