The Soil and Land Information System (SALIS) is a digital information system developed to store and manage the NSW Government's resource of land and soil information. The database must robustly store and allow for the effective management of soil profile and landscape information.
The data held within the system consists of two major datasets: the NSW dataset of soil profiles (observations of soil and land features at individual sites), and the NSW dataset of soil landscapes (areas mapped based on certain combinations or characteristics of soils).
