Land units of Goulburn Broken region of Victoria

dataset: GOULBURN_BROKEN_LAND_UNITS
This dataset is the primary data output from the Goulburn Broken Dryland Regional Development Project conducted from 1998 to 2000. It contains soil and land information at a scale of 1:100 000 for all land in the region. At the map scale of this dataset soil-landform units are not homogeneous. For each defined soil-landform unit, the number and proportion of landforms and soil types will vary. A group or groups of soils have been associated with each unit. Representative sites and their associated profile properties are recorded in the study report. Importantly it should be noted that soil attributes (for example texture, sodicity, pH) are expected to vary between acquired soil sites. As the variability of soil attributes within a map unit is difficult to predict, it is important to note that representative soils should be used as a guide only.

Resource Constraints

Use limitation
Unrestricted The detail available in the current datasets is good for their mapping scale but is not sufficient to provide landscape analysis at finer scales and should not therefore be used to plan land use strategies at more detailed scales (1:25 000 and larger) unless additional soil and land survey is captured to enhance map line work and subdivide the map units. It should be noted that soil attributes (for example texture, sodicity, pH) are expected to vary between acquired soil sites. As the variability of soil attributes within a map unit is difficult to predict, it is important to note that representative soils should be used as a guide only.
