Figure 1: The ASRIS land-unit hierarchy (see also Table 3) – ILUZ refers to the intensive landusezone. ............................................................................................................................................................. 2Figure 2: Mapping, monitoring and modelling are complementary activities for naturalresource management and they must be set against the context of the environmental historyof events and processes for a given landscape. ASRIS provides the national framework for soiland land resource information. .......................................................................................................................... 5Figure 3: Examples of triangular probability distribution functions for coarse fragments. Themean, 5% and 95% quantiles are shown for the material with less variation (solid line). .............................. 17Figure 4: The Multi-resolution Valley Bottom Flatness index identifies erosional anddepositional areas from continental to local scales. ........................................................................................ 20Figure 5: Relative relief ..................................................................................................................................... 21Figure 6: Provinces (coloured) of The Physiographic Regions of Australia based on provincesof The Physiographic Regions of Australia Pain et al.

(2011).............................................................................................................. 23Figure 9: Examples of horizon sequences and allocation to the five-layer model used todescribe idealized soil profiles in the land-unit hierarchy. Example (a) is a common sequence.In example (b), Layers 2 and 4 are recorded as missing because the profile is shallow and hasonly a few horizons. Example (c) is a complex profile and Layers are specified according totheir influence on plant growth and water movement. .................................................................................. 35Figure 10: Scaling term for water storage. The curves range from those likely for a soil withsevere root constraints (e.g. Sodosols, X i =0.2–0.4 m) to a deep soil without constraints (e.g.Red Ferrosol, X i =2.0 m). .................................................................................................................................... 48Figure 11: Calculation procedure for plant available water capacity .............................................................. 49Figure 12: Database design for ASRIS.
