1 Key Reference Site 7 Site details MGA Coordinates: me mn Zone 55 Lat/long: S E Primary site: SALTC 342 Geology: PII - Alderabaran Sandstone /shale (Permian), Back Creek Group 1 Vegetation: Open woodland of brigalow (Acacia harpophylla) and silver-leaved ironbark (Eucalyptus mealanophlora). Land use: Grazing native pasture. Site location Site notes This reference site describes the undulating terrain associated with sandstone and shale in the Central Highlands. These landscapes support forest of brigalow (Acacia harpophylla) and are now managed primarily for their moderate to high productivity native grass pastures. This site is located on the Avocet property south of Emerald in Central Queensland and has been used to research the effects of tree clearing on soil properties (Sangha, 2005) 3. It has also been used to parameterise the model GRASP which estimates pasture growth in different landscapes based on based on soil-water simulations, climate variables and grazing density (Day et al, 1997) 4. This reference site consists of: soil and regolith description to 3.0 m measured electrical conductivity (EC), soluble chloride (Cl), soil nitrate (NO3) and soil ph. soil profile laboratory analysis chemical analysis from nearby matching sites and long term monitoring of pasture yields and soil water. is therefore a key point of reference for understanding the brigalow soils formed on sandstone and shale in central Queensland and for establishing links between soil and regolith attributes and the parameters used to model soil water and pasture growth. Climate 5 Soil and landscape correlation Name Reference Soil profile class: Taurus ZDK 2 Land system: Land unit: Cotherstone (Cr)/ Daunia(Da) Da 3/4. Lowlands and low strike ridges ZDK 2 ZDK 2 Note: mapped as Cotherstone Land System, but has closer affi nity with Daunia Land System in terms of soil type and vegetation. Compared to evaporation, a rainfall deficit is experienced in every month of the year, and annual pan evaporation is 3.5 times the annual rainfall. 65 percent of the average annual rainfall (~391 mm) is received in the summer period (Nov March), and this provides much of the moisture for pasture production. High degree of variability in seasonal and monthly rainfall means that pasture production is also variable. - 1
