Soils Of The Knox Creek Plain East Kimberley Western Australia And Northern Territory, C Grose, Noel Schoknecht
Soils Of The Knox Creek Plain East Kimberley Western Australia And Northern Territory, C Grose, Noel Schoknecht
Resource management technical reports
An assessment of the soils and landforms of approximately 12,000 ha in the Knox Creek Plain in Western Australia and the Northern Territory was conducted in May and June 1994. Seventeen map units were identified and their soils, landform and vegetation characteristics were described. Grey or brown cracking clays predominate on the plain, however variable red or brown soils on the coarser alluvium of remnant levees are common in the south and south-east.

Land Capability Assessment For The Wellington-Blackwood Survey, Peter J. Tille
Resource management technical reports
This report has been produced to provide more detail on the land capability assessments presented in the Wellington-Blackwood Land Resources Survey (Tille 1996). In that report, the land capability of each of the soil-landscape subsystems has been summarised with a brief description. Capability ratings are provided here for each of the map units (including subsystem phases) which appear on the two map sheets (Tille et al. 1996) accompanying the Wellington-Blackwood Land Resources Survey.
Soils Of The Mantinea Loop Ord River Valley East Kimberley Western Australia, N Schoknecht, C Grose
Soils Of The Mantinea Loop Ord River Valley East Kimberley Western Australia, N Schoknecht, C Grose
Resource management technical reports
A brief assessment of the soils of 1,186 hectares in the Mantinea Loop, and their suitability for irrigated agriculture, was conducted in June 1994. Four map units based on soil, landform and vegetation were identified. The soils are mainly calcareous brown fine sandy loams. The landform is an alluvial plain, with numerous small depressions and channels caused by the meandering and flooding of the Ord River.
