Soil and Land Resources of the North Coast

This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the NSW portion of the Clarence-Moreton Basin and surrounding area in the far North Coast of NSW. Mapping covers an area of 25,604 km2, extending from the Queensland border down to south of Grafton and west to approximately the Clarence River.\r\n \r\nThe dataset includes existing published 1:100,000 soil landscape mapping along the coast (Murwillumbah – Tweed Heads, Lismore – Ballina, Woodburn, Dorrigo [part] and Coffs Harbour [part]), incorporates previous unpublished draft 1:100,000 Western Richmond soil landscapes and maps the remaining area around Bare Point and the western region with a 1:250,000 reconnaissance soil survey.\r\n\r\n229 soil landscape map units have been described within this North Coast region. Each unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. Some representative type profiles are supported by laboratory analysis and soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Groups systems.\r\n\r\n__Related Datasets:__ The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil landscape 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 mapping series for the map sheets of [Murwillumbah-Tweed Heads](https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-landscapes-of-the-murwillumbah-tweed-heads-1-100000-sheets1c5ee), [Lismore-Ballina](https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-landscapes-of-the-lismore-ballina-1-100000-sheets554a6), [Woodburn](https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-landscapes-of-the-woodburn-1-100000-sheetc7323), [Dorrigo](https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-landscapes-of-the-dorrigo-1-100000-sheet162bf) and [Coffs Harbour](https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-landscapes-of-the-coffs-harbour-1-100000-sheet29605). Part of this area is also covered by the mapping of [Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/hydrogeological-landscapes-nsw-act) and [Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/acid-sulfate-soils-risk0196c).\r\n\r\n__Online Maps:__ This and related datasets can be viewed using [eSPADE](http://espade.environment.nsw.gov.au/) (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the [SEED Map](https://geo.seed.nsw.gov.au/Public_Viewer/index.html?viewer=Public_Viewer&locale=en-AU); an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.\r\n\r\n__Reference:__ Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, 2025, _Soil and Land Resources of North Coast_, Version 1, NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Parramatta.

本数字土壤景观数据集涵盖新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）远北海岸区域内克拉伦斯-莫顿盆地（Clarence-Moreton Basin）新南威尔士州辖段及其周边区域的自然资源制图成果。本次制图覆盖面积达25604平方千米，北起昆士兰州（Queensland）边界，南至格拉夫顿（Grafton）以南区域，西至克拉伦斯河（Clarence River）沿岸区域。

本数据集纳入了沿海区域已公开出版的1:10万土壤景观制图成果（涵盖默里威尔姆巴-特威德海德、利斯莫尔-巴利纳、伍德本、多里戈[部分区域]及科夫斯港[部分区域]），整合了此前未公开的1:10万西里士满土壤景观草案成果，并通过1:25万土壤概查完成了贝尔角（Bare Point）周边及西部剩余区域的制图工作。

本北海岸区域内共划分并描述了229个土壤景观制图单元。每个单元均为土壤与景观信息的清单，具备相对统一的土地管理需求，可用于识别主要土壤与景观属性及限制因子。部分典型土壤剖面配有实验室分析数据，土壤描述采用澳大利亚土壤分类体系（Australian Soil Classification）与大土类（Great Soil Groups）系统。
