Northern Territory land resource maps and reports (Webpage)
This Northern Territory Government webpage contains links to reports and maps. These land resource surveys describe soils, landforms and land capability across many regions of the Northern Territory. In coastal areas the reports commonly identify landscapes that contain or are susceptible to acid sulfate soils (ASS), particularly mangrove plains, tidal flats and estuarine floodplains. The reports provide soil profile descriptions, mapping units and management considerations that help planners and land managers recognise areas where ASS may occur. They are often used in environmental assessments and coastal development planning. #
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.

SSA reminds users that these resources are a guide only. Our understanding of soil science is improving continuously so it is important to check the suitability of the information for your purpose with an appropriately qualified professional such as a Registered Soil Professional or a Certified Professional Soil ScientistÂ
