Abstract

Waikato Regional Council monitors the quality (health) of the major land uses and soil in the region. Initial proof of concept for soil quality commenced in 1995, lead by Landcare Research, proceeded the “500 soils” research project (2000-2003). Regional councils under the Land Monitoring Forum, including WRC, took over monitoring after the initial round. Trends over time can now be analysed as most sites have now been sampled at least 4 times. This report presents data and trends in the seven indicators representing soil quality for the period 1995-2018 and discusses the main soil quality issues facing the Waikato Region.
