Proposed changes in the classification of Histosols, Alfisols, Andisols, Aridisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Entisols, and Spodosols in South Australia

Abstract

As a result of intensive field and laboratory work being conducted in specific key areas in South Australia need for improvements and modifications to Soil Taxonomy have become obvious to several soil scientists. This report proposes some changes to the 1990 Keys to Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 1990) in order to provide more suitable categories for some soils in South Australia. These improvements were also identified and improved upon by several workers during a series of three Soil Taxonomy workshops held in South Australia during September and October, 1991.
