Soil condition monitoring MER 2008: State of Catchment 2010 Reports (preliminary results)

State of Catchment reports for the 2008 baseline were produced for each Catchment Management Authority based on incomplete results available in 2009. The reports provide a regional summary of average condition and variability in condition for each of the following indicators: Sheet and rill erosion; Gully erosion; Wind erosion; Soil Carbon; Soil Structure; Soil pH; Soil salinity and Acid sulfate soils. The same results are also used to show the average condition of each soil monitoring unit. Lowest scoring indicators in each soil monitoring unit are highlighted. The catchment index, simply the average of all condition scores for all indicators is presented and compared with the soil condition index for NSW. Current soil condition pressure and trends determined from the results of the land management within capability monitoring theme. Gaps in the data were filled by expert knowledge from local experts.The most reliable results from the 2008 MER program are presented in OEH (2014) Soil condition and land management in NSW: final results from the 2008-09 monitoring evaluation and reporting program Technical Report, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Sydney http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/soils/140389MERsoil.htm

2008年基准的流域状况报告基于2009年可得的不完整结果，为各流域管理局编制。报告提供了以下各指标区域平均状况及状况变异性的汇总：片蚀与细沟侵蚀、沟蚀、风蚀、土壤碳、土壤结构、土壤pH值、土壤盐度及酸性硫酸盐土。上述结果亦用于展示每个土壤监测单元的平均状况，各单元中得分最低的指标被重点标注。流域指数（即所有指标状况得分的简单平均值）被呈现，并与新南威尔士州（NSW）的土壤状况指数进行对比。当前土壤状况压力及趋势由‘能力范围内土地管理’监测主题的结果分析得出。数据缺口通过当地专家的专业知识予以填补。2008年监测评估与报告（MER）项目的最可靠结果刊载于新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室（OEH）2014年发布的技术报告《新南威尔士州土壤状况与土地管理：2008-09监测评估与报告项目最终结果》（NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Sydney），网址为：http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/soils/140389MERsoil.htm
