Abstract

Information on soil conditions in New Zealand is needed to assess soil quality at a national scale. We tested a standard set of 16 primary indicators at 29 sites (0–10 cm depth) across nine soil great groups with matched examples of indigenous forest, plantation forest, pastures, and crops. Soils under indigenous forest were acidic (pH 5.5–5.7), low in Olsen P (5–14 μg cm −3 ), with high microbial C (814–1228 μg cm −3 ), respiration (1.1–1.4 μg C cm −3 h −1 ), total C (31.8–52.9 mg cm −3 ), macroporosity (9.6–11.7% v/v), and total available water (29.2–31.5% v/v). Plantation forest soils had generally similar characteristics. Pasture soils were less acidic (pH 5.3–6.9) than forest soils, but with more available P (5.5–43.0 μg cm −3 ), higher total C (30.7–141.5 mg cm −3 ), total N (2.7–9.0 mg cm −3 ), and mineralizable N (68–175 μg cm −3 ). The physical condition was similar to forest soils. Cropped soil had low total C (20–34 mg cm −3 ), microbial C (160–956 μg cm −3 ), respiration (0.29–1.33 μg C cm −3 h −1 ), and total available water (6.7–30.1% v/v), but high pH (5.8–7.2), Olsen P (11.2–199 μg cm −3 ), and bulk density (0.96–1.3 g cm −3 ). Principal component analysis identified outlier sites and grouped land uses independently of soil great groups. Some indicators were less useful because of high variability (unsaturated hydraulic conductivity), correlation to other indicators (microbial C) or interpretation difficulties (respiration). Overall, the standardized approach provided useful information about soil conditions on a national scale.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
