This book, specially prepared for soil scientists and engineers, offers comprehensive coverage of basic soil concepts, systematics, mapping and examination procedures for soils. Specific National Standards and Procedures for classification of soils, design and name of map units, conventions for nomenclature, and location of special soil features are outlined. It provides standards for uniform and correct use of words and ideas and does much to standardize terms and procedures. Soil and landscape, character of soil maps and reports, field work, plotting, description of soils, parent materials, soil color, texture, structure, consistence, reaction, special formations, organic matter, erosion, vegetation, land use, soil classification, samples, correlation and inspection, report, reconnaissance are included. The Soil Survey Manual provides in a single volume the major principles and practices needed for making and using soil surveys and for assembling and using data related to them. The Manual is intended primarily for use by soil scientists engaged in the classification and mapping of soils and in the interpretation of soil surveys. It is oriented to the needs of those actively engaged in preparing soil surveys for publication. The Manual is universally useful and is the primary reference on principles and technical detail for local, State and Federal contributions to authorized soil surveys. Soil scientists concerned with soil surveys in other countries have used it as well. Teachers have used it both as a text and as a reference for students.

The link between soil information and good decisions about land use and management, or even the recognition that a decision is needed and that soil information can play a role, needs to be improved. The link between soil information and applying it is critical to maximise the use of the soil resource in a sustainable way. Good management decisions require correct and understandable soil information for a location; confusing and inappropriate data can lead to suboptimal practices. Uncertainty about appropriate management arises because soils are highly variable both spatially (horizontally and vertically) and temporally. To support land management decisions that are generally made by non-soil specialists, information about the soil needs to be delivered in a format that they can understand, afford and apply. The aim of this work was to deliver soil information to improve land management by development of an approach to convey soil survey information by means of special purpose soil classifications and conceptual toposequence models. The approach is presented to: (i) salvage and reinterpret valuable soil survey legacy data from the plethora of detailed published soil survey technical reports and their numerous appendices of quantitative and qualitative data for future science and (ii) deliver complex or intricate soil survey information to non-soil specialists using a vocabulary and diagrams that they can understand. This was achieved by re-interpreting soil survey data in a framework comprising special purpose soil classifications and conceptual toposequence models for specific geographic regions and/or practical applications. The process involved an experienced soil surveyor to acquire and interpret conventional soil data. Then to distil the highly technical soil survey information into a format for a non-soil specialist audience, by constructing simple but readily understandable descriptive conceptual toposequence models and to develop a soil identification key. The soil identification key honours the same international (or national) classification sequence but is constructed in plain language that non-technical people understand and can apply to determine soil types. Soil types classified using the special purpose soil classification systems are correlated to formal international and national soil classification systems allowing technical soil property data and land suitability evaluations to be applied. To illustrate the wide applicability of this approach, case studies were conducted in three different parts of the world - Kuwait, Brunei, and Australia, each of which exhibit vastly different landscapes, climates, soil types and land use problems. The studies were driven by demands to contribute to on-going projects, having a direct impact on current and significant investment decisions. This thesis is submitted in the publication format through six papers as thesis chapters. The approach improved the delivery of soil information by addressing issues that included: communication - through the use of plain language and simple words; scale - using diagrams to mimic the landscape; identification of soils - by using readily recognisable observable soil features; technology transfer - by associating local soil types with national or international taxonomic soil classifications; and timely -achieved by reworking legacy soil survey data. Uptake of the information to answer current questions is discussed in the case studies and confirmed the value of this approach for presenting soil survey information in a user friendly nontechnical format that a non-soil specialist audience understood. The approach developed and used is applicable to other locations throughout the world outside of: (i) Brunei, especially in tropical landscapes, (ii) Kuwait, especially in arid and semi-arid landscapes and (iii) Australian winter rainfall landscapes, especially in Mediterranean landscapes - in order to establish similar local classifications and conceptual models.

This handbook sets forth a procedure for making a soil conservation survey and includes instructions for mapping the major physical land features essential to the development of a coordinated soil conservation program and for interpreting those features in terms of land use capability. The procedure given is designed to be broad in scope. Variations and supplements to fit local conditions are to be established by the field inspector at the time a survey is initiated.

Profiles in the History of the U.S. Soil Survey offers a broad-ranging collection of essays chronicling the development of the U.S. Soil Survey and its influence on the history of soil survey as a scientific discipline that focuses on mapping, analysis, and description of soils. Appraises the influences of key individuals and institutions on the establishment of federal support for and coordination of U.S. soil surveys. Provides an account of life in the field, detailing experience shared by many soil scientists and survey processionals. Reviews the opening of careers in soil survey to women and African-Americans. Relates aspects of the utility of the soil survey to other federal services, to other fields of research, and to land-use planning. Discusses the future of the U.S. Soil Survey and the new directions both the survey and its uses will take. Soil scientists and other soil survey professionals will find this collection valuable both for the new research it provides and for the memories it preserves of life and work in the field and laboratory. Historians will increasingly turn their attention to this crucial earth science as the intriguing connections between soils, the environment, and human history become more apparent.
