Australian Natural Resources Data Library (ANRDL)

Maintained by BRS, The Australian Natural Resources Data Library (ANRDL) stores downloadable natural resource data for Australia.

Australian Natural Resources Atlas (ANRA)

The National Land & Water Resources Audit has developed the Australian Natural Resources Atlas (ANRA) to provide access to information to support natural resource management. Information can be accessed at a regional level or on a theme basis.

National Agricultural Monitoring System (NAMS)

The National Agricultural Monitoring System (NAMS) contains a range of climatic and production information, initially for dryland/broadacre industries, for over 600 regions throughout Australia.

Water 2010

BRS' Water 2010 project is developing an interactive website and CD-ROM to enable users to explore factors influencing Australia's dynamic water balance. The project applies a land use mapping-based approach to show how and where water is generated and used including run-off, transpiration, irrigation and groundwater.

Australian Soil Resource Information System (ASRIS)

The Australian Soil Resource Information System (ASRIS) provides online access to the best publicly available information on soil and land resources in a consistent format across Australia. ACLUMP land use datasets have been loaded into ASRIS and can be viewed together with other soil and land information.

Integrated Vegetation Online

At this website, the Integrated Vegetation Dataset is used to show vegetation cover types for regions across Australia. Information on vegetation includes native forests and grasslands and non-native vegetation (eg pine plantations, improved pasture and crops).

Plantation Information Network

The Plantation Information Network provides environmental and economic data for National Plantation Inventory Regions. Data can be queried in the database and viewed as maps.

Vegetation Assets, States and Transitions (VAST)

The Vegetation Assets, States and Transitions (VAST) classification orders vegetation by degree of anthropogenic modification as a series of states, from a residual or base-line condition through to total removal. The VAST classification is offered as a tool that can help describe, map and account for changes in the status and condition of vegetation.

Bioenergy Atlas of Australia

The Bioenergy Atlas of Australia provides access to maps and information on existing and potential biomass energy resources as well as existing industry locations, infrastructure and other key data.

MLA Rainfall to Pasture Growth Outlook Tool

The Rainfall to Pasture Growth Outlook Tool was developed by BRS for Meat and Livestock Australia. It estimates pasture growth in relation to rainfall, soil moisture and other climatic conditions for up to 3 months into the future.

Interactive Social Atlas

The Interactive Social Atlas uses the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics Population and Housing Census data to focus on the people and communities of non-metropolitan Australia. It allows creation and downloading of customised social atlas products for any region in Australia.
