  • Updated description of Acid Sulfate Soils Risk from

    This project has mapped the occurrence of Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) along the coast of NSW and provides information that will assist land management and rehabilitation. In their natural state, these soils are submerged but when exposed or drained, they become oxidised and sulphuric acid is produced. This reduces soil fertility, kills vegetation and reduces fish populations. The identification of the location and extent of potential acid sulfate soils (PASS) is the essential first step in managing this problem. 128 map sheets were mapped for risk of occurrence of ASS at a scale of 1:25,000. This project was co-funded by the Natural Resources Audit Council (NRAC), and was revised in 1997. __References:__ Naylor, SD, Chapman, GA, Atkinson, G, Murphy CL, Tulau MJ, Flewin TC, Milford HB, Morand DT, 1998, Guidleines for the Use of Acide Sulfate Soil Risk Maps, 2nd ed., Department of Land and Water Conservation, Sydney. __Note:__ Part of this area is also covered by the mapping of the [Soil and Land Resources of Central and Eastern NSW](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/soil-and-land-resources-of-central-and-eastern-nsw) and [Soil Landscapes of Central and Eastern NSW](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/published-soil-landscapes-of-central-and-eastern-nsw37d37) and [Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW](http://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/hydrogeological-landscapes-nsw-act).

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. __References:__ Naylor, SD, Chapman, GA, Atkinson, G, Murphy CL, Tulau MJ, Flewin TC, Milford HB, Morand DT, 1998, Guidleines for the Use of Acide Sulfate Soil Risk Maps, 2nd ed., Department of Land and Water Conservation, Sydney.
