Deveopment in So Survey: History of Geomorphology and Soi Landscape Projects

摘要

In an earlier paper (Nettleton and Lynn, 2008), we looked at the development of the Soil Survey Investigations Laboratories and their support of soil genesis and taxonomic concepts. Here we consider the laboratories' ties to the Soil Survey Investigations (SSI) geomorphic and landscape projects. The need to develop taxonomic, geomorphic, and soil survey concepts guided the selection of these soil landscape projects. Our objective is to document the Soil Survey Investigations contributions to the making and interpreting of soil surveys.
