This volume includes all revisions of the keys that have so far been approved, replacing the original keys in Soil Taxonomy: A Basic System of Soil Classification for Making and Interpreting Soil Surveys (1975), the work on which this abridged version, first published in 1983, is based.

   Extractions: The main objective of the land studies is to derive estimates of land surface biochemical (chlorophyll content) and biophysical (LAI/biomass, albedo, fAPAR) properties by inverting semi-empirical and physically based BRDF models against sample sets of hyperspectral directional reflectance measurements acquired by CHRIS. In addition to specific BRDF studies, the hyperspectral data will also be used to investigate 'red edge' shifts in wavelength as a function of canopy biochemistry (chlorophyll content/concentration). One can consider some advantages and disadvantages of three different types of BRDF model: Empirical Semi-Empirical computationally efficient analytical solutions to model inversion using matrix-based techniques scale linearly The overall aim is to assess the ability of multi-angle reflectance data sampled using the CHRIS sensor to retrieve/estimate land surface biophysical properties (LAI, albedo etc). An element of this will include direct comparison of the retrieved parameter values against ground-based measurements of the same parameters. The surface biophysical parameters will be estimated from the CHRIS data using a number of different techniques, ranging from traditional (the so-called vegetation indices), through more recent developments (such as red-edge position (REP), to more advanced techniques (notably BRDF model inversion). The validation exercise will look at the accuracy/precision with which atmospherically-corrected CHRIS data can be used to determine the basic surface radiation fields, as well as at the ability to retrieve properties such as LAI, albedo, etc. through the application of vegetation indices, REP techniques and BRDF model inversion.

   Extractions: Summary: Welcome to the Healthy Soils and Sustainable Agriculture Project site. Date: 29 August 2001 The 'Healthy Soils, Habitats and Biodiversity' Campaign which commenced with the "Sustaining Our Future" Seminar in April 2002 is a 2 year campaign run jointly by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW, the Wilderness Preservation Society and the Australian Plants Society. To combat soil degradation, the destruction of habitats and consequent threats to biodiversity. To deliver a focussed education and public information program based on expert scientific research and data. To work constructively with government, farmers and other land managers and relevant organisations, to advocate ecologically sustainable land use practices. Education and Awareness:- By providing "plain language' technical information products on soils and biodiversity in both printed and electronic formats; conducting rural workshops focussing on state-wide and regional concerns and field trips to evaluate regional successes and failures of sustainable practices. Policy Evaluation:- Comparative evaluation of Commonwealth and State policies in soils and biological diversity and where appropriate from other States with alternative policies.

   Extractions: CSIRO Land and Water Soil test results are most useful when there is an appreciation of the general features of the complete soil profile. These features, together with climate, can have an overriding impact on plant growth. A great variety of soils are used for agriculture in Australia and this chapter provides a general account of 20 major types. The new Australian Soil Classification (Isbell 1996) is used as a frame of reference because of its practical focus. It is also the national standard for soil classification. However, there are many variants on the soil types described here and more detailed and local accounts should be consulted for specific guidance on land management. In recent geologic times, there has been a general absence across the continent of major processes that renew soils, for example, mountain building, volcanic activity and glaciation. Land surfaces across many parts of Australia are ancient and as a consequence the associated soils are strongly weathered and infertile. However, the agricultural lands have significant areas with younger land surfaces and more fertile soils.
