South Eastern Australia Vertosol Partical Size Dirtibution

This dataset has been developed by R.W. Vervoort, S.R. Cattle and B. Minasny using funding from the Australian Cotton CRC and its predecessor the CRC for Sustainable Cotton Production. The dataset contains: Particle size distribution: contains the values for the following size fractions: a) Sand: 2000 – 1000, 1000 - 500, 500 - 250, 100 - 50 µm; b) Silt: 50 – 20, 20 – 2 µm; and c) Clay: 2 – 0.2, < 0.2 µm expressed as percent of the total mineral fraction. Experimental procedures for the data collection and references relating to the measurements in this database are described in the Cotton CRC project 1.2.4 Final Report (July 2001), and the following reference: Vervoort, R.W., S.R.
