Australian Soil Resource Information System Website

The ASRIS website provided online access to the best publicly available information on soil and land resources in a consistent format across Australia from its launch in 2005, until June 2024.
ASRIS provided access to information at seven different scales.
The upper-three scales provide general descriptions of soil types, landforms and regolith across the continent. This was based on the Physiographic Regions of Australia (https://doi.org/10.4225/08/579E72EA873CA).
The lower scales provide more detailed information in regions where mapping was complete with a harmonised version of state and territory survey mapping providing the foundation. Information related to soil depth, water storage, permeability, fertility, carbon and erodibility. Most soil information was recorded at five depths. The original soil survey information is still available from each of the jurisdictional custodians.
The lowest scale consists of a soil profile database with fully characterised sites that are known to be representative of significant areas and environments. This level of detail is now available for download from ANSIS (http://ansis.net)
The ASRIS mapping tool broke at the end of 2023 and could not be fixed due to aging infrastructure, changing technologies and cyber security demands that could no longer support the environment. This metadata entry describes the content that was available on the site. Any data that was accessible from ASRIS, can still be accessed by contacting the custodian of the data.

ASRIS网站自2005年上线至2024年6月，始终以统一格式提供澳大利亚境内公开可得的最优土壤与土地资源相关在线信息。
ASRIS可提供七个不同比例尺的数据集访问服务。
前三个比例尺用于呈现全澳范围内土壤类型、地貌与风化壳的概览性描述，其数据基础为《澳大利亚地貌区》（https://doi.org/10.4225/08/579E72EA873CA）。
后四个比例尺则针对已完成制图的区域提供更精细化的信息，其核心依托为经统一协调的州与领地土壤调查制图成果，涵盖土壤深度、储水量、渗透性、肥力、碳含量与可蚀性等相关参数。多数土壤信息按五个土层深度层级进行记录。各辖区的数据托管方仍可提供原始土壤调查资料。
最低比例尺层级包含土壤剖面数据库，收录经全面特征表征、可代表典型区域与环境的样点数据。该精度层级的数据集目前可通过ANSIS（http://ansis.net）下载获取。
ASRIS的制图工具于2023年底失效，由于基础设施老化、技术迭代以及无法适配现有运行环境的网络安全需求，该工具无法被修复。本元数据条目仅对原网站可访问的内容进行说明。用户仍可通过联系数据托管方获取此前ASRIS平台上的所有可访问数据。

背景概述

该数据集是澳大利亚土壤资源信息系统网站的存档集合，涵盖2005年至2024年期间提供的全国土壤和土地资源信息，包括多尺度土壤类型、深度、肥力等属性数据。网站因技术问题已停止服务，但原始数据仍可通过联系保管机构获取，数据集文件公开且采用知识共享许可。
