AGRICULTURAL SOILS RESEARCH DATA IN TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA;POLICIES, COLLABORATION AND SHARING
Sustainable Land Use & Information Management, DPIPWE
Agricultural Soil (research) Data – mainly spatial – maps, reports, geo-referenced chemical data, physical data, morphological data, archived physical samples
Custodians: Department of Primary Industries, Parks Water and Environment, Tasmania (DPIPWE)
Sustainable Land Use and Information Management Section
ROLE OF STATE GOVERNMENT
2
• Soil Mapping• Land Capability Mapping• Land Suitability Mapping• Land Use Mapping• Soil Condition Monitoring• Vulnerable Soils Mapping• Research Trials
(production and protection)
A main focus……..Providing Spatial Data forUse in Agricultural or Environmental Research (Modelling)
CONTEXT - TASKS

SOIL DATA COLLECTION AND STORAGE STANDARDS
4
• Soil Data Collected and applied to National Standards and Guidelines (Linkages with FAO, but adapted to Australia’s unique soils and terrain)
• Nationally Consistent Database Format (PC_SITES)• NATA Accredited Laboratories and analyses• Ensures interoperability
We are now encouraging other organisations to have all soil agricultural research data collected to these standards in Tasmania, geo-referenced, and uploaded digitally to our soil database, as part of the Natural Values Atlas of Tasmania, and make publically available as part of open data policy.
e.g. Universities, consultants, Forestry, NRM Regional Projects and Collaborators
SOIL DATABASE
5
New Soils Database – integrated with other natural values datasetsPublically accessible – downloadable soil dataStructure compatible with CSIRO Land & Water – ASRIS soils data
Using new database as a ‘carrot’ to encourage use of standards and correct formats, and as data storage and retrieval facility
Other agencies, consultants and Universities get the benefit of using other data, storing data, and being able to extract it when needed in a useable and error-checked format
DPIPWE gets the benefit of obtaining data (with some restrictions), and having it collected in a useable format, and integrated into digital soil and land suitability models
Promotes data sharing and better use of resources

Commonality• Technically open – discoverable, different formats, including machine readable• Legally open – limited restriction on use, easy to understand what the restrictions are
For Land Tasmania – free
• Foundation Datasets - Address, Cadastre, Coastline, Contours, Hydrography, Points of Interest, Survey Control, Digital Elevation Model,Transport
• Administrative – locality, suburb, LGA’s• Reserves – WHA, state parks and reserves, LGA reserves• Spatial Soils Data – Maps and Point Source Profile Information
• Easy access via awarded LIST infrastructure• Minimal restriction on use• Land Tasmania spatial data free

Soil MetaData
• State-wide mapping, at 80m resolution (3 arc-second) – soil Attribute Surfaces• Created using Digital Soil Mapping• Standard Properties, Measurement Units, Depths, Resolution, Projections and Grid System• 218 Gridded Maps – Predicted Values with 90% Confident Limits of Upper and Lower
Prediction Limits (Uncertainties)• Contributed to TERN (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, Soil and Landscape Grid of
Australia)

AGRICULTURAL SOIL RESEARCH - TASMANIA
Undertake and Applying Soil Research to help and maximise productivity, investment and returns on agriculture in Tasmania
Undertaking soil research data ‘trawl’ – ID appropriately formatted soil data, digitize, standardize and classify into appropriate (standard) formats e.eg. TIA agricultural research trials (soil data components)
Part of soil legacy data project – identifying other sources of soil data to capture and store
To date, a further 18,000 geo-referenced soil profiles have been located, and are being harmonised and digitsied…..
(Present database holds ~ 6,500 sites!)

Linking University Research with Industry
DPIPWE – University of Sydney Linkage Project – Digital Soil Mapping for Enterprise Suitability Assessment
Transferred knowledge to DPIPWE, transformed quantitative generation of spatial soil research information
Integrating Soil research with industry
Hopefully – some relevant examples from Tasmania
TIA - Good model – collaboration between government and university – soil research data, collection, provision, use and application
ACLEP – Soil Data collection, storage and reporting standards
Good set of standards applied in Tasmania – being more widely adopted by industry and other agencies when collecting soil data (soils database)
Increasingly more publically available (DPIPWE policy – no charge for data – freely available)
ARC – Linkage – another mechanism to link universities with industry and State agencies – applied research
