Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Download or read book Soil Survey Manual (U.S. Department of Agriculture Handbook No. 18) written by U.S. Department of Agriculture and published by Lulu.com. 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).

Download or read book Soil Survey Manual 2017 written by U.s. Department of Agriculture and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manual is intended primarily for use by soil scientists engaged in the work of making soil surveys. It is an especially important reference for soil scientists early in their careers as they learn the many complex aspects of making a soil survey. It is also an important reference for experienced soil surveyors who want to review the details regarding many of the standards used in soil survey. For example, chapter 3, "Examination and Description of Soil Profiles," contains the accepted terms and definitions for specific soil properties that are used when describing soil profiles in the field. It also contains extensive information describing each soil property and the proper procedures for observing or measuring it in the field. The Manual is therefore an important companion to other soil survey references, such as the National Soil Survey Handbook (USDA-NRCS, 2016), the Field Book for Describing and Sampling Soils (Schoeneberger and Wysocki, 2012), and the Keys to Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 2014). Although the Manual is oriented to the needs of those actively engaged in preparing soil surveys, workers and students who have limited soil science experience or are less familiar with the soil survey process can also use the information. Teachers, researchers, and students of soil science and related disciplines, especially those interested in pedology, soil morphology, soil geography, ecology, geomorphology, and the science underlying soil survey, will find this manual useful. Resource specialists, such as wetland scientists, foresters, and agronomists, and others who use soil surveys in their work, can refer to the Manual to better understand how soil surveys are made and how to interpret the technical information they provide. Parts of the Manual, especially those concerning the description of soils in the field and the soil properties considered when predicting soil behavior under a specific use, have been adopted by private-sector soil scientists as standards. The Soil Survey Manual has proven to be an important source of information for government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and private-sector resource specialists in other countries involved in soil survey projects. Because the Manual describes all facets of the soil survey process, it is an important guide for developing proposals to conduct soil surveys and to create detailed plans for projects in other parts of the world. The Manual serves as the guiding document for activities of the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS), a cooperative undertaking led by the United States Department of Agriculture. The NCSS includes other Federal and State agencies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and private-sector soil scientists interested in making soil surveys and/or interpreting and using soil survey information. The original Federal authority for the Soil Survey of the United States is contained in the record of the 53rd Congress, Chapter 169, Agricultural Appropriations Act of 1896. The authority was elaborated in Public Law 74-46, the Soil Conservation Act of April 27, 1936, and again in Public Law 89-560, Soil Surveys for Resource Planning and Development, September 7, 1966. The Manual is the primary reference on the principles and technical details used by the local, State, and Federal contributors to soil surveys authorized under these acts.

This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook specifies methods and terminology for soil and land surveys. It has been widely used throughout Australia, providing one reference set of definitions for the characterisation of landform, vegetation, land surface, soil and substrate. The book advocates that a comprehensive suite of land and soil attributes be recorded in a uniform manner. This approach is more useful than the allocation of land or soil to preconceived types or classes. The third edition includes revised chapters on location and vegetation as well as some new landform elements. These updates have been guided by the National Committee on Soil and Terrain, a steering committee comprising representatives from key federal, state and territory land resource assessment agencies. Essential reading for all professionals involved in land resource surveys, this book will also be of value to students and educators in soil science, geography, ecology, agriculture, forestry, resource management, planning, landscape architecture and engineering.
