Synopsis

Interpreting Soil Test Results is a practical reference enabling soil scientists, environmental scientists, environmental engineers, land holders and others involved in land management to better understand a range of soil test methods and interpret the results of these tests. It also contains a comprehensive description of the soil properties relevant to many environmental and natural land resource issues and investigations.This new edition has an additional chapter on soil organic carbon store estimation and an extension of the chapter on soil contamination. It also includes sampling guidelines for landscape design and a section on trace elements. The book updates and expands sections covering acid sulfate soil, procedures for sampling soils, levels of nutrients present in farm products, soil sodicity, salinity and rainfall erosivity. It includes updated interpretations for phosphorus in soils, soil pH and the cation exchange capacity of soils.

Dr. Pam Hazelton has worked as a soil scientist for over 35 years. She gained her PhD from the University of NSW for her research on the morphology and genesis of scald soils in arid regions. In recent years, Pam's interests have been in urban and coastal soils with an emphasis on environmental engineering.

Dr. Brian Murphy has worked as a soil scientist for over 30 years with a strong focus on applied soil science. He obtained his PhD in 1999 from the University of NSW for his work on soil structure in cropping systems. Brian's practice has a strong focus on the application of soil science to agriculture, land management, carbon sequestration, hydrology, salinity and urban land use.
