Description: The Sites of Special Wildlife Interest (SSWI) wildlife habitat ranking system was
developed by the Fauna Survey Unit of the former New Zealand Wildlife Service. The Fauna Survey Unit surveyed the whole of New Zealand between 1977 and 1985 on a region by region basis to identify all "sites of special wildlife interest". All natural or semi-natural areas important as habitat for one or more species of wildlife were evaluated and each site ranked, according to a set of standard criteria, into five groups on the basis of their value to wildlife, ie, outstanding, high, moderate-high, moderate and potential. SSWI ranking system is officially recognised and continues to be used by the Department of Conservation.

Description: WERI (Wetlands of Ecological and Representative Importance), is a computer database which contains records on approximately 3,000 wetlands throughout New Zealand. Originated by the Department of Conservation. The Department holds inventories on wetlands: WERI database (Wetlands of Ecological and Regional Importance), Coastal Resource Inventory (including wetlands such as mangroves) and SSWI (Sites of Special Wildlife Interest). These inventories, particular WERI, form an important basis for the Department's advocacy of appropriate management of wetlands by private landowners. Conservation Management Strategies and Regional Policy Statements have provided Department of Conservation and Regional Councils with the chance to identify and state management goals for wetlands on a regional basis. Information includes size; location; land ownership; classification (hydro class, geomorphic origin, community class, dominant plant species); modifiers and threats; buffer, wildlife and vegetation values; other ecological values; cultural values; significance; and sources of information.

Description: In 2010, Environment Canterbury commissioned a report that identifies areas of outstanding natural features and landscapes (ONF/Ls) at a regional scale throughout Canterbury. It is a comprehensive, technical, peer-reviewed update of the Canterbury Regional Landscape Study of 1993, which was one of the first regional landscape analyses completed in response to the 1991 Resource Management Act in New Zealand.The report builds upon the methods used in 1993 and reflects current best practice in landscape assessment. It is intended to provide a basis for informing further detailed landscape studies in the region. The focus of the report is on large-scale landscape patterns that are able to be distinguished at a regional level, rather than site specific analysis. Detailed studies are likely to identify more features that are distinguishable at a local level, as well as refine specific boundaries in response to finer grained analysis.

Description: Soil units derived from Landcare Research's S-map database. This data has been supplemented with less detailed soils information derived from the Land Resource Inventory for those areas where S-map quality data is not yet available. Refer to https://smap.landcareresearch.co.nz/ for more information about S-maps. S-map's primary map layer is soil classes, i.e. delineated areas that are labelled with the soil family name. Each soil family is defined as a unique combination of attributes (NZSC classification, parent material, rock type, dominant texture and permeability class). Soil classes are further characterised as siblings according to their depth to rock class, stoniness, land type, drainage, texture (more detailed), functional horizons and miscellaneous variant information. The uncertainty of each of these family and sibling attribute classes is specified. Associated with the soil class layer will be additional map layers of fundamental and derived soil properties. The fundamental soil properties are depth (diggability), depth to slowly permeable layer, rooting depth, rooting barrier, horizon thickness, stoniness, clay and sand content.
They are developed from sample information and expert knowledge. The derived soil layers are each based on a model (or pedo-transfer function). Some models are simple lookup tables that depend only on the soil class. Others combine various soil, land use, vegetation, climate or topographic attributes in a mathematical formula. Derived layers will include available water (mm), macroporosity, water retention, bulk density, total carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, cation exchange capacity, pH, and phosphorus retention.
Description: Combination dataset merging land parcel boundary information with soil moisture details and effective irrigation rainfall exceeded 60% of time. Developed primarily to assist in calculating the total amount of water authorised via a water permit over a one year period. For irrigation permits this is determined as being the volume required during an irrigation season, calculated according to Schedule WQN9 version 3.
Use this layer for assessing areas outside of the Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan Area.
Description: Combination dataset merging land parcel boundary information with soil moisture details and effective irrigation rainfall exceeded 80% of time. Developed primarily to assist in calculating the total amount of water authorised via a water permit over a one year period. For irrigation permits this is determined as being the volume required during an irrigation season, calculated according to Schedule WQN9 version 3.
Use this layer for assessing areas inside of the Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan Area.
Description: The New Zealand Fundamental Soil Layer originates from a relational join of features from two databases: the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI), and the National Soils Database (NSD).
The NZLRI is a national polygon database of physical land resource information, including a soil unit. Soil is one in an inventory of five physical factors (including rock, slope, erosion, and vegetation) delineated by physiographic polygons at approximately 1:50,000 scale. The NSD is a point database of soil physical, chemical, and mineralological characteristics for over 1500 soil profiles nationally. A relational join between the NZLRI dominant soil and derivative tables from the NSD was the means by which 14 important soil attributes were attached to the NZLRI polygons. Some if these attributes originate from exact matches with NSD records, while others derive from matches to similar soils or are simply professional estimates.
Description: Sourced from Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research @ http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/databases/nzlri.asp This layer includes:
(1) Inventory of physical factors controlling land use - Rock (grouped by type on basis of common physical characteristics relevant to soil conversation and land use planning), Soil (from Landcare Research soil surveys), Slope (recorded as seven different classes A-G, eg G being all land >35o, Erosion (14 erosion types with serverity assessement scale 0-5), Vegetation (subdivision of five main groups - croplands, grasslands, forest, scrub, miscellaneous); (2) Land Use Capability (LUC) assessment by map unit - Class (I-VIII ie 'most versatile and productive' to 'most limitations to use'), Subclass (dominant limitation recorded ie e-'erodibility', c-'climate', w-'wetness', s-'soil limitatiojn within rooting zone'), Unit (number indicates LUC and denotes management/conservation requirements)
(3) Fundamental Data Layers (FDL) containing key NZ soil attributes; (4) Pastoral & forestry production parameters, administration and natural boundaries.

Description: his layer gives the results of a detailed investigation into the background concentrations of selected trace elements in Canterbury's major soil groups from samples taken between 28/2/2006 and 16/3/2006. Canterbury soil groups identified by the Land Resource Inventory (LRI) and Canterbury Soils (CS) datasets were used in this investigation and are retained in this layer.
A total of 90 sample sites were distributed across these soil groups; 17 in the Christchurch urban area and 73 through-out the rest of Canterbury. From these samples concentrations of; Arsenic, Boron, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, Nickel, and Zinc were measured in mg/kg.
Level 1 gives the maximum concentration values of the above trace elements measured in each soil group. It is recommended new soil sample results be compared against both "Trace Elements Level 1" and "Level 2" to assess whether the site is contaminated. For a detailed account of the site selection and sampling method employed in this investigation and recommend user guidelines please see Report No. R07/1 "Background concentrations of selected trace elements in Canterbury soils" prepared for Environment Canterbury by Tonkin and Taylor Ltd, July 2006.
