Name: NSW Soil Protection Zones

Display Field: Soil_Protection_Zone

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This dataset shows the soil protection zone locations used in the development of cropping residues for NSW, to retain a suitable level of stubble for soil protection. The NSW North soil protection zone retained 1.5 t/ha of stubble for soil protection. The NSW South soil protection zone retained 1 t/ha of stubble for soil protection. 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 has been mapped using the Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) boundaries to align with the cropping residue layers and has been amalgamated to form the two zones. 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.
