Subsurface Acidification Risk Mapping for Soil Landscapes

Subsurface Acidification risk mapping is derived from land quality attribution associated with soil-landscape mapping at the subsystem/phase level. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and was last updated in March 2026, superseding two previous versions from 2003 and 2004.

Use Cases

• Analyze subsurface acidification risk across soil-landscape subsystems for agricultural land management planning.
• Integrate risk mapping with other soil hazard layers using the subsystem/phase level classification for environmental modeling.
• Assess the spatial distribution of acidification risk as a land management hazard for regional development strategies.

Strengths

• Dataset is actively maintained, with a recent update in March 2026 superseding older versions.
• Derived from authoritative technical documentation (Resource Management Technical Report 298, Section 2.14).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count, column count) and spatial extent are not provided in the metadata.
• The underlying technical report dates to 2005, which may affect the currency of the foundational methodology.
