Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - pH - CaCl2 (3&quot; resolution) - Release 1

&lt;p&gt;This is Version 1 of the Australian Soil pH - CaCl2 product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. It is superseded by the Release 2 product that can be found at: &lt;a href=&quot;../../../metadata/TERN/258afc98-7407-4781-b241-cb0293b4b8aa&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - pH - CaCl2 (3&quot; resolution) - Release 2&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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: 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm and 100-200cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (http://www.globalsoilmap.net/). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). These maps are generated by combining the best available Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) products available across Australia. Attribute Definition: pH of 1:5 soil/0.01M calcium chloride extract; Units: None; Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Total size before compression: about 8GB; Total size after compression: about 4GB; Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: GeoTIFF.&lt;/p&gt;

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot WOUR10, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

The Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data contains bird fauna data for 1 of 50 permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot WOUR10. 
The CSIRO permanent plots are situated in Tropical Ironbark Woodlands, and extend across four leasehold cattle properties that lie within an area approximately 50km by 50km. The plots represent three vegetation management strategies, namely: 1) clearing (where all trees and shrubs are removed); 2) thinning (where ground and midstorey vegetation is removed); and 3) unmodiﬁed native woodlands where signiﬁcant thinning or clearing has not occurred. Within each 1 ha site, eight five-minute diurnal bird counts are conducted over a four day period. Two counts are completed per day at each site: one count in the morning within three hours of sunrise and the other a minimum of three hours after this period and before sunset.
This is part of a much larger dataset that spans from 2004 to 2013. Note that previous studies were undertaken at 60 permanent 1 hectare plots and that this data is accessible as a composite data package:

The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013.

Southern Flinders TSA (Subset 1 - Nov 1998), Biological Survey of South Australia - Roadside Vegetation Survey, Biological Database of South Australia

The project systematically surveys the extent and condition of remnant native vegetation on railway corridors / roadsides . A standard drive-by survey methodology is used to record dominant species (overstorey, understorey, emergent, threatened and alien species), structural type, density/distribution and understorey vegetation type in roadside vegetation. Mapping outputs are used to inform roadside vegetation management by Local and State Governments.

Mean monthly total shortwave radiation on a sloping surface modelled using the 1&quot; DEM-S - 3&quot; mosaic

Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2000) was used to derive:
•   Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface
•   Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface)
•   Incoming long-wave radiation
•   Outgoing long-wave radiation
•   Net long-wave radiation
•   Net radiation
•   Sky view factor
All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane.
The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view.
The monthly data in this collection are available at 3 arcsecond resolution as single (mosaicked) grids for Australia in TIFF format.
The 3 arc-second resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arc-second resolution surfaces, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.
The 1 arcsecond tiled data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:9530 . The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18851

Desert Ecology Plot Network: Mammal Abundance Plot Data, Simpson Desert, Western Queensland, 2012

This mammal abundance trap data package comprises capture data for a specified duration of trapping nights (usually 3 night session) in the Simpson Desert, Western Queensland. Captured mammal fauna were identified and recaptures during the same session were removed (i.e. individuals were only counted once).   Date, site and grid number were recorded for all captures, and captured animals were also marked by a unique ear notch prior to their release to identify recaptures.    The network program uses a core of 12 sites, sampled every April-May, however in 2012 there was not a complete survey, and so there are only 2 (Field River South and Main Camp) sites represented in this table.  The trapping survey aims to quantitatively track long-term shifts in biodiversity and ecological processes in relation to key drivers, including unpredictable rainfall and droughts, fire, feral predators and grazing.  A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Desert Ecology's full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-ecology.

Modelled root-layer soil moisture (0-100 cm) using the Australian Water Resources Assessment model via assimilation of satellite soil moisture products: 2.5th percentile of the ensemble of model estimates.  Note that the data represents the mean of an ensemble of 100 modelled estimates for each data derived via perturbed meteorological forcing. Resolution of the output data is 0.05-degree for the whole country. The unit of measure is relative wetness (0-1, indicating 0 and 100% degree of saturation).

Maps of Australian soil composition measured with visible-near infrared spectra

We measured the spectra of 4606 surface soil samples from across Australia using a vis-NIR spectrometer. These spectra provide an integrative measure that provides information on the fundamental characteristics and composition of the soil, including colour, iron oxide, clay and carbonate mineralogy, organic matter content and composition, the amount of water present and particle size. This soil information content of the spectra was summarised using a principal component analysis (PCA). We used model trees to derive statistical relationships between the scores of the PCA and 31 predictors that were readily available and we thought might best represent the factors of soil formation (climate, organisms, relief, parent material, time and the soil itself). The models were validated and subsequently used to produce digital maps of the information content of the spectra, as summarised by the PCA, with estimates of  prediction error at 3-arc seconds (around 90 m) pixel resolution. The maps might be useful in situations requiring high-resolution, quantitative soil information e.g. in agricultural, environmental and ecologic modelling and for soil mapping and classification.
