Soil data access to inform soil carbon management – NSW (Video)
This webinar video, hosted by the NSW DPIRD and the Soil Network of Knowledge, discusses how soil data can be shared using online data portals. The first speaker, Dr Peter Dahlhaus (Federation University), demonstrates how to access relevant soil data nationally using the Soil CRC’s Visualising Australasia Soils (VAS) online data portal. The second speaker is Brian Jenkins (NSW DECU) explains how to find NSW soil information using portals including the Soil and Land Information System (SALIS) and eSpade. They discuss how digital mapping portals provide soil data to inform soil carbon management and the current limitations to sharing soil data publicly. The information applies to NSW but may also relate to soils data portals in other states (2024) [1:08].#
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.
