Banksia Woodlands of the Swan Coastal Plain Draft description and threats - Page 4 The Swan Coastal Plain dune systems are generally composed of well-drained and weathered red/brown (Quindalup), pale yellow (Spearwood) or white (Bassendean) quartz sands, which form coarse-textured soils that are extremely poor in nutrients (McArthur and Bettenay, The Swan Coastal Plain is a low lying coastal plain, mainly covered with woodlands. Fertility and nutrient retention capacity is greatest for Spearwood and least for the Bassendean soil type. The site is updated and maintained online as the single authoritative source of soil survey information. Soil Group of WA - 465 Pale sandy earth site ID includes: BMA 0351, GWRDC MR_ 14_YP. The Muchea Limestone soil type occurs on the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain, an area that is some 97% cleared (CALM 1990) as the heavy soils were useful for agricultural purposes. 15. 2 0 obj

Drying Out Wet Soils – Using Plants as an Alternative to Fill Posted on 25/02/2017 27/02/2017 Due to the wetland nature of the Swan Coastal Plain, many areas within the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale experience seasonal water inundation or waterlogged soils. The Swan Coastal Plain stretches more than 100 km from north to south along the coast, and more than 20 km inland. Pale, brown, yellow or red sands grading to loam by 80 centimetres (cm).

An excellent summary of the geomorphology of the Swan Coastal Plain in the vicinity of Perth is provided by Davidson (1995), and reproduced below. GIS was used to create an overlay of the Colquhoun (1974) map to the present soil survey. *Note - Data derived from site identifications (ID's). %����
The Plain in its entirety extends from near Geraldton in the north to Dunsborough in the south. The coastal plain is a 30-kilometre-wide (19 mi) strip on the Indian Ocean coast directly west of the Darling Scarp uplands running from Cape Naturaliste in the south to north of the city of Perth. A number of rivers cross the plain from east to west from the Darling Scarp towards the sea, including the Swan and its main tributary, the Canning. 5. In the Perth region, the Swan Coastal Plain is about 34 km wide in the north, 23 km in the south, and This map was developed to assist planners in assessing
