The Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook specifies methods and terminology for soil and land surveys. It is widely used throughout Australia, providing the official source of definitions and codes for the characterization of landform, vegetation, land surface, soil and substrate.

This fourth edition incorporates significant revisions throughout, except for the Substrate chapter. Changes include the removal of redundant concepts, clarification of concepts and introduction of new concepts, as well as some restructuring of text. There has also been significant addition of text to some sections to fill in gaps and improve clarity of key concepts.

Specific updates include new terms added to the Landform chapter; a significant rewrite of the Vegetation chapter to make it more compliant with national standards and methods that have emerged in the last decade; and rearrangement of microrelief and expansion of the mass movement section in the Land Surface chapter.

Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook is Volume 1 in the Australian Soil and Land Survey Handbook Series.

Features:

  • Allows for systematic recording of field observations.
  • Lists attributes necessary to describe landform, vegetation, land surface soil and substrate.
  • Definitions of attributes, terms and categories are internationally consistent but particular emphasis is given to Australian conditions.
  • Suggests codings for attributes, terms and categories to allow concise recording systems to be developed for field use.
  • This new edition contains updates to terminology in the Landform chapter, significant changes to the Vegetation chapter and clarification of key concepts across the manuscript.

The National Committee on Soil and Terrain: - The National Committee on Soil and Terrain (NCST) is comprised of representatives from key federal, state and territory agencies in Australia.
