Soils of the Australian Alps
Unlike many mountain ranges around the world which are formed primarily from rock, the Australian Alps are distinguished by bedrock covered by a large range of soil types. This factsheet explores the unique nature of these soil mountains through:
- soil formation and type
- soil ecosystems above and below ground and
- soils and their relationship with water.
A glossary and list of references is included.
