Phosphorus Export Risk Mapping For Western Australian Soil Landscapes

Western Australian soil-landscape mapping data provides phosphorus export risk attribution at the subsystem/phase level. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, with the latest technical update referenced from 2005 and a metadata refresh in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Model phosphorus runoff risk across soil-landscape subsystems for catchment management planning
• Integrate phosphorus export risk layers with flood hazard maps using shared geophysical tags
• Analyze spatial correlations between land management hazard classifications and phosphorus risk ratings

Strengths

• Derived from a formal technical report (Resource Management Technical Report 298, Section 2.6)
• Offered in multiple standard geospatial formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and GEOPACKAGE
• Maintained and updated by a government agriculture and resource management department

Limitations

• Core methodology and attribution reference is from 2005, which may not reflect current conditions
• Specific column schema, row counts, and spatial sample density are not documented
• Tags indicate restricted access, which may limit availability for some users
