Book excerpt: The success of the book Soils and the Environment imagination in the applications of soil surveys, illustrates the need for further, more detailed toward the end of improving productivity and information about soil survey interpretations (uses efficiency in the use of soils and the environment. of soil surveys), especially for laypersons, teachers, Although laypersons, teachers, and students are the and students. Much information about soils and primary groups addressed by this Field Guide, the environment is secluded in offices of various other people involved with using soil surveys are agencies and institutions and thus is not readily (or will be) agriculturalists, agronomists, assessors, available to the people who need it. Techniques for botanists, conservationists, contractors, ecologists, finding and using the information are also not well economists, engineers, extension workers, fores known, so there is great need for this Field Guide ters, geologists, groundwater experts, planners, to Soils and the Environment to provide teachers politicians, public health officials, range managers, and learners with exercises that will give them recreationists, soil scientists, wildlife specialists, and many others. This Field Guide complements practice leading to confidence in the manipulation and enhances the book Soils and the Environment and utilization of soil survey data. In a sense, all published in 1981. of us are (or should be) learners and teachers in the use of soil survey information. This Field Guide DONALD R.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we enter the last decades of the twentieth century, many persistent and perplexing problems continue to afflict humankind. Thus it is appropriate to address, in a new group of books, two of the monumental issues that haunt people throughout the world. Soils and the Environment by Professor Gerald W. Olson is the first book in this new publish ing program on Environment, Energy, and Society. The purpose of all these books will be to explore the many interrelated facets of these topics and to provide guidance for deal ing with problems and offering ideas for their solutions. Environment and energy are twin problems that occupy what many believe to be opposite sides of a two-headed coin. They are often viewed as being antithetical and incompatible. The various books in this program will try to place in perspective the options that are available to those who design policy and plan and manage societal matters. Typical of books being developed currently are ones on coal resources, environmental geoscience, environmental pollution, land-use planning, nuclear energy, mineral resources, and water resources. However, because soils are at the very heart of civilization and provide the building block for human sustenance, it is fitting to inaugurate this series with Dr. Olson's timely analysis of soils. Unfortu nately, these most vital resources seen. to have low priority in many farming enterprises, urbanization projects, deforestation schemes, and mining and developmental terrain changes.

This book was released on 2019-04-06 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soil Survey Manual, USDA Handbook No. 18, provides the major principles and practices needed for making and using soil surveys and for assembling and using related data. The term ?soil survey? is used here to encompass the process of mapping, describing, classifying, and interpreting natural three-dimensional bodies of soil on the landscape. This work is performed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey in the United States and by other similar organizations worldwide. The Manual provides guidance, methodology, and terminology for conducting a soil survey but does not necessarily convey policies and protocols required to administer soil survey operations. The soil bodies contain a sequence of identifiable horizons and layers that occur in repeating patterns in the landscape as a result of the factors of soil formation as described by Dokuchaev (1883) and Jenny (1941).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Conservation Survey Handbook Classes of land according to use capability are determined wholly on the basis of physical characteristics. Of the land, that is, of the soil and its climatic environment. At least four groups of factors must be considered: (1) Permanence of the soil if cultivated (susceptibility to erosion); (2) productivity of the soil as conditioned by native fertility, capacity for retention and movement of water, salt content, aeration, or other factors; (3) the presence of any factor that would interfere with cultivation, such as stoniness or a hardpan layer; and (4) the climatic environment, particularly temperature and precipita tion. To aid in the determination of use capability a table (table 2, p. 21) Should be prepared at the beginning of each survey or as soon there after as possible, showing significant variations in the physical factors (soil type, slope, and degree of erosion) such as govern land use capa bility within the prevailing climatic environment. This table is to be initiated by the chief of the survey party, developed in Oooperation with local and regional technicians, and approved by cooperating agencies and by the regional conservator and the inspector. When properly completed, the recommendations for land use capability will, furnish the necessary physical information to serve as a definite basis, ' for soil conservation operations on the land. In those areas where de tailed studies and surveys and work on the land have been carried out, sufficient information may be available to develop the table at the, start of the survey. In all instances the table Should be developed as rapidly as the information can be assembled, and completed before. The survey is finished. After completion of the table the land use. Capability will be designated by the surveyor on the field sheets. To the planning technician who uses the maps, the classes of land according to use capability will indicate at a glance the maximum in tensity of agricultural use that can be practiced safely, An under standing of the reasons for placing a specific tract in a given class can be gained by examination of the separate factors expressed. In the conservation survey symbol. The technician must then consider, in addition to the inventory of physical resources, the preferences of the farm owner or operator as well as the economic advisability of any system of cropping or any practice recommended.
