Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses Nevada in the context of the history of soil investigations; soil-forming factors; general soil regions; soil geomorphology; taxonomic structure of the soils; taxonomic soil regions; soil-forming processes; benchmark, endemic, rare, and endangered soils; and use of soils. With an average mean annual precipitation of 175 mm (7 in), Nevada is the driest state in the USA. More than three-quarters (89%) of the state has been mapped and the first soil survey was completed in 1909. Nevada is divided into 10 major land-resource areas and features two large deserts (the Great Basin Desert and the Mojave Desert), and over 100 north–south trending enclosed basins separated by mountain ranges (Basin and Range Province), several of which have peaks exceeding 3,400 m. Further, the soils of Nevada represent seven of the 12 globally recognized orders, 29 suborders, 69 great groups, and over 1,800 soil series, and some of the classic research on the origin of duripans and petrocalcic horizons was conducted in the state. This book presents the first report on the soils of Nevada and provides the first soil map of Nevada utilizing soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Nevada There are three factors which are essential to successful agriculture, in addition to the fourth which is the human factor of plowing, planting, and harvesting, namely climate, with respect to the mean and extreme range of temperature of the seasons; soil, with respect to the constituents required for plant life, and humidity, with respect to the moisture necessary to grow crops. The. Latter factor in the arid region must be supplied by irrigation. It was once thought that Nature could not be improved upon by any artificial means of supplementing a natural deficiency of humidity. But that belief has been overthrown by the comparative results of the fruitfulness of like soils: in the one instance dependent on the uncertainties of rainfall, and in the other on moisture within the control of the agriculturist, to be given his crops when needed and withheld when not. Farmers who have had experience under both conditions are substantially unanimous in their preference of irrigation over rainfall. It is contended that not only is there a greater certainty of harvest, but that, other conditions being equal, equivalent lands will grow larger cr0ps under skilful irrigation than with rainfall. We have stated that Nevada, contrary to prevailing opinion, holds the promise of a great agricultural future. On what ground is this outlook based? The answer is: On climate, soil and irrigation; the conservation of the surface and subsurface waters of the State to supplement the deficiency of climatic humidity.
