Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Total Phosphorus (3" resolution) - Release 2

This is Version 2 of the Australian Total Soil Phosphorus product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.

It supersedes the Release 1 product that can be found at https://doi.org/10.25919/7j78-md43

The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of total phosphorus in soils across Australia.

The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm and 100-200 cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/Resources/GlobalSoilMap_specifications_december_2015_2.pdf). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). An additional measure of model reliability is through assessment of model extrapolation risk. This measure provides users a spatial depiction where model estimates are made within the domain of the observed data or not.
