Map 5.1

Notes:SMUs do not cover all areas in a catchment and, as they may cover different land holdings, tenures and uses, the results shown represent an average across the SMU and are therefore indicative only.
Index ratings:
Very good = No concern with soil function: either no deterioration or an improvement on reference condition
Good = Slight concern with soil function: noticeable but not significant deterioration against reference condition
Fair = Concern with loss of soil function: noticeable and significant deterioration against reference condition
Poor = Significant loss of soil function: obvious and substantial deterioration against reference condition
Very poor = Profound loss of soil function: approaching or at complete deterioration
No data = Not included for change monitoring: information available in support documents
