Soil condition monitoring trial

Product Information

In mid-2006 the National Land & Water Resources Audit, via the National Coordinating Committee on Soil and Terrain, convened four expert panels to advise on how each indicator might best be monitored both locally for project management and accountability purposes, and at a broader scale for reporting on the condition of our national resource base.

Late in 2006 a series of trials was initiated to confirm the recommendations of the expert panels and to explore any operational issues associated with their implementation. There were 11 (plus one) trials in total and this report summarises the trials and highlights a range of issues that emerged in relation to the local and broad scale monitoring of soil condition across Australia.
