Dataset Number 1105 Dataset Title Land Types of southern South Australia Status Published Metadata Maintained by DEW SMK

Description Category Soils Theme Soil Landscapes Keywords and Qualifiers Dataset Type Spatial Description Land Types define the broad soil grouping and dominant geologic and topographic setting of Soil Landscape Map Units. There are 29 Land Types within 14 geomorphic groups which have been described across southern South Australia. Each Soil Landscape Unit has an assigned Land Type, indicating the dominant nature of the map unit. The dataset has been created from the Soil Landscape Map Units spatial dataset. These data can be viewed on NatureMaps (>Soils). For further information see Mapping soil and land. Spatial data downloads are available from Data SA. Dataset Use Used to supply Government, community groups, industry and the general public with up to date regional, subregional and catchment level soil information for southern South Australia.

Data Quality Lineage The dataset is based on an interpretation of 1:40,000 stereo colour aerial photography and limited field inspection of landscapes and soils by soil scientists. Soil Landscape Map Unit boundaries were determined after an integration of field observations and recordingsSELECT 1 FROM DUAL; laboratory analysesSELECT 1 FROM DUAL; stereoscopic examination of aerial photographsSELECT 1 FROM DUAL; understanding of regional landscape processes and stratigraphySELECT 1 FROM DUAL; existing soil and geological mapping data. Land Types spatial dataset has been created by dissolving the Soil Landscape Map Unit spatial dataset. Completeness Complete. The spatial data is subject to amendment as and when more data become available. Positional Accuracy The accuracy is to the scale of mapping (50 metres at 1:50,000 and 300 metres at 1:100,000 mapping scale). These spatial data are to be used at the regional, subregional and catchment-level, and can be used to provide property overviewsSELECT 1 FROM DUAL; however, they cannot to be used at the paddock level. South East, Kangaroo Island, Mount Lofty Ranges and the 'bottom' of Yorke Peninsula have been mapped at 1:50,000. Eyre Peninsula, the main part of Yorke Peninsula, Murray Mallee and Northern Agricultural Districts have been mapped at 1:100,000.
