1 Key Reference Site 12 Site details MGA Coordinates: me mn Zone 55 Lat/long: S E Primary site: SALTC 349 Geology: Cz - Undifferentiated Cainozoic sediments (colluvial slopes) 1 Vegetation: Woodland of Poplar box (E. populnea). Land use: Grazing native pastures. Site location Site notes This reference site describes the undulating plains and lowlands associated with the sandstone tablelands in the Central Highlands. These landscapes support woodlands of poplar box (E.populnea) and are now managed primarily for their moderate to high productivity native grass pastures. This site is located on the German Creek property near Emerald in Central Queensland It has 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 6.0 m measured electrical conductivity (EC), soluble chloride (Cl), soil nitrate (NO3) and soil ph. soil profile laboratory analysis long term monitoring of pasture yields and soil water. QKRS 12 is therefore a key point of reference for understanding the soils formed on sandstone tableland landscapes 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: Foxleigh (Fx) WDH 2 Land system soil: Broadmeadow ZDK 3 Land system: Monteagle ZDK 3 Land unit: Land Unit 3: lowlands and colluvial footslopes below the tableland surface. ZDK 3 Compared to evaporation, a rainfall deficit is experienced in every month of the year, and annual pan evaporation is 3.3 times the annual rainfall. 68 percent of the average annual rainfall (~416 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 highly variable. QKRS 12-1
