Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Available Phosphorus (3" resolution) - Release 1 

This is Version 1 of the Australian Available Phosphorus product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.

The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of available phosphorus in soils across Australia.

The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm and 100-200 cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project - GlobalSoilMaps. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels).

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
The observed data used to produce this map was obtained from state and federal soil survey agencies.

This work was jointly funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project, and CSIRO.

CSIRO maintains and makes the data through the Australian Soil Resource Information System. 

The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of soil Available Phosphorus Capacity across Australia.
