Using Soil Survey Data for Quantitative Land Evaluation

  • Chapter
Advances in Soil Science

Part of the book series: Advances in Soil Science ((SOIL,volume 9))

Abstract

Soil survey activities in many countries have reached a crucial phase. Standard country wide surveys either have been completed or will be completed within the near future. This development implies that more attention can be paid to soil survey interpretations and applications. The opportunity to emphasize use of soil survey data is particularly timely because of a change in the type of questions being asked by users of soil survey data and because of the rapid advances in information technology. Questions have become more specific, and quantitative answers are increasingly required.
