Description: This dataset estimates the location and mass in dry tonnes at 0% moisture content (MC) and in tonnes at harvest 'As is' MC of cereal straw residues across NSW, Australia. This information was originally collated for the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment (ABBA) project and has been updated several times. It is available for use in the NSW BioSMART tool (Biomass Spatial and Modular Assessment of Resources Tool - https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/forestry/science/forest-carbon/biomass-for-bioenergy/nsw-biosmart) and on the National Map (https://nationalmap.gov.au/) platform.
The boundary features were extracted from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS 2016) digital boundaries [Copyright Commonwealth of Australia administered by the ABS]. This dataset is mapped at the Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2).
Each SA2 region shows the annual average tonnes of cereal straw residues by crop type for the period July 2011 to June 2021 (average of 10 years). Cereal crop types included are Wheat, Oats, Barley, Sorghum, Maize, Rice and Other Cereals (including Triticale). The SA2 residues were derived using the ‘parent’ SA4 region residue totals (calculated using ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of each crop production from the ABS 2015-16FY SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16FY crop production distribution (and in some cases the 2020-21FY crop production distribution).
The SA4 residue totals were calculated using Harvest Index (HI) values and based on a formula that considered a non-harvestable component and the retention of stubble for soil protection. The SA2 regions in the NSW North soil protection zone retained 1.5 t/ha of stubble and the NSW South soil protection zone retained 1 t/ha of stubble. Most of the moisture content (MC) percentages at harvest time were collated from the GRDC Grow Notes - Harvest (https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grownotes).
Note: Some SA2 regions were merged and the results were combined. Most commonly merged regions were built up areas contained wholly within the same regional area (i.e. Goulburn and Goulburn Region were merged). Some small regions along the coast were also merged with adjacent regions for clearer mapping.

The boundary features were extracted from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS 2016) digital boundaries [Copyright Commonwealth of Australia administered by the ABS]. This dataset is mapped at the Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2).
Each SA2 region shows the annual average tonnes of non-cereal straw residues by crop type for the period July 2011 to June 2021 (average of 10 years). Non-cereal crop types included are Cotton, Canola, Other Oilseeds (including Safflower, Soybean, Sunflower, Sesame, Peanuts) and All Pulses (including Lupins, Lentils, Chickpeas, Field Peas, Faba Beans, Mung Beans). The SA2 residues were derived using the ‘parent’ SA4 region residue totals (calculated using ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of each crop production from the ABS 2015-16FY SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16FY crop production distribution (and in some cases the 2020-21FY crop production distribution).
The SA4 residue totals were calculated using Harvest Index (HI) values and based on a formula that considered a non-harvestable component and the retention of stubble for soil protection. The SA2 regions in the NSW North soil protection zone retained 1.5 t/ha of stubble and the NSW South soil protection zone retained 1 t/ha of stubble. Most of the moisture content (MC) percentages at harvest time were collated from the GRDC Grow Notes - Harvest (https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grownotes).
Note: Some SA2 regions were merged and the results were combined. Most commonly merged regions were built up areas contained wholly within the same regional area (i.e. Goulburn and Goulburn Region were merged). Some small regions along the coast were also merged with adjacent regions for clearer mapping.

The boundary features were extracted from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS 2016) digital boundaries [Copyright Commonwealth of Australia administered by the ABS]. This dataset is mapped at the Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2).
Each SA2 region shows the annual average tonnes of hay and silage residues for the period July 2011 to June 2021 (average of 10 years). Hay and Silage crop types are amalgamated (including Lucerne, Pasture, Cereal, Other Crops). The SA2 residues were derived using the ‘parent’ SA4 region residue totals (compiled from ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of each crop production from the ABS 2015-16FY SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16FY crop production distribution (and in some cases the 2020-21FY crop production distribution).
The moisture content (MC) percentages at harvest time were collated from a number of Australian sources such as the GRDC Grow Notes - Harvest (https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grownotes); AFIA - Guide to moisture content of hay (https://www.afia.org.au/index.php/resources/hayfactsheets/making-quality-hay/145-guide-to-moisture-content-of-hay); DPI - Producing quality lucerne hay (https://www.agrifutures.com.au/wp-content/uploads/publications/08-101.pdf); and DPI & Dairy Australia - Successful silage (https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/294053/successful-silage-topfodder.pdf).

Description: This dataset estimates the location and mass in dry tonnes at 0% moisture content (MC) and in tonnes at post-milling 14% MC of rice hull residues across NSW, Australia. This information was originally collated for the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment (ABBA) project and has been updated several times. It is available for use in the NSW BioSMART tool (Biomass Spatial and Modular Assessment of Resources Tool - https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/forestry/science/forest-carbon/biomass-for-bioenergy/nsw-biosmart) and on the National Map (https://nationalmap.gov.au/) platform.
The boundary features were extracted from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS 2016) digital boundaries [Copyright Commonwealth of Australia administered by the ABS]. This dataset is mapped at the Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2).
Each SA2 region shows the annual average tonnes of rice hull residues post-milling for the period July 2011 to June 2021 (average of 10 years). The SA2 residues were derived using the ‘parent’ SA4 region residue totals (calculated using ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of each crop production from the ABS 2015-16FY SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16FY crop production distribution (and in some cases the 2020-21FY crop production distribution). Also, the location of mills was taken into consideration and all rice mills occur within the same regions as the crop was grown.
The SA4 residue totals were calculated using information gathered from literature and industry contacts (DPI and SunRice) which indicate that the rice hulls account for approximately 20% of the paddy weight and the MC is approximately 14% at milling time.
Note: Some SA2 regions were merged and the results were combined. Most commonly merged regions were built up areas contained wholly within the same regional area (i.e. Goulburn and Goulburn Region were merged). Some small regions along the coast were also merged with adjacent regions for clearer mapping.

Description: This dataset estimates the location and mass in dry tonnes at 0% moisture content (MC) and in tonnes at post-ginning 5% MC of cotton gin trash across NSW, Australia. This information was originally collated for the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment (ABBA) project and has been updated several times. It is available for use in the NSW BioSMART tool (Biomass Spatial and Modular Assessment of Resources Tool - https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/forestry/science/forest-carbon/biomass-for-bioenergy/nsw-biosmart) and on the National Map (https://nationalmap.gov.au/) platform.
The boundary features were extracted from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS 2016) digital boundaries [Copyright Commonwealth of Australia administered by the ABS]. This dataset is mapped at the Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2).
Each SA2 region shows the annual average tonnes of cotton gin trash post-ginning for the period July 2011 to June 2021 (average of 10 years). The SA2 residues were derived using the ‘parent’ SA4 region residue totals (calculated using ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of each crop production from the ABS 2015-16FY SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16FY crop production distribution (and in some cases the 2020-21FY crop production distribution). Also, the location of gins was taken into consideration and all cotton gins occur within the same regions as the crop was grown.
The SA4 residue totals were calculated using information gathered from literature which indicates that harvested cotton contains approximately 50% cottonseed, 40% cotton fibre (lint) and 10% trash. This separation has been used to calculate the cotton gin trash component.
Note: Some SA2 regions were merged and the results were combined. Most commonly merged regions were built up areas contained wholly within the same regional area (i.e. Goulburn and Goulburn Region were merged). Some small regions along the coast were also merged with adjacent regions for clearer mapping.

Each SA2 region also shows the combined total of these 2 residue types. This layer gives a quick reference summary of the 2 residue types, which have been individually mapped with more detail. The SA2 residues were derived using the 'parent' SA4 region residue totals (calculated using ABS ASGS Agricultural Commodities, Australia, cat. no. 7121.0 data cubes and from research carried out by the NSW Forest Science unit, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development - Forestry) and by applying calculated percentages of crop production from the ABS 2015-16FY SA2 agricultural survey data to determine the distribution of residues at this level. Please note the location of residues for the SA2 maps is based on the 2015-16FY crop production distribution (and in some cases the 2020-21FY crop production distribution). Note, the sugarcane trash residue estimates currently do not take into account trash retention for environmental benefits such as weed management and soil health.
Note: Some SA2 regions were merged and the results were combined. Most commonly merged regions were built up areas contained wholly within the same regional area (i.e. Goulburn and Goulburn Region were merged). Some small regions along the coast were also merged with adjacent regions for clearer mapping.

Description: This dataset estimates the biomass density from low to high, based on the location and mass in dry tonnes at 0% moisture content (MC) of all cereal straw residues across NSW, Australia, considering the location of related existing NSW landuse (i.e. cropping landuse). The all cereal straw biomass density represents wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, maize, rice and other cereals (including triticale). This dataset represents the density of the annual average all cereal straw residues for the period July 2013 - June 2018 (average of 5 years). The ABBA Project (2015-2020) biomass spatial data has been used in conjunction with the Department of Planning and Environment's NSW Landuse 2017 v1.2 dataset to determine this biomass density map for the Climate Change Fund - Biomass for Bioenergy Project (2018-2023) and is available for use in the NSW BioSMART tool (Biomass Spatial and Modular Assessment of Resources Tool - https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/forestry/science/forest-carbon/biomass-for-bioenergy/nsw-biosmart), to assist a range of stakeholders including landholders/farmers, project developers, policy makers and academics.
