Soil Survey Manual - Part 3
This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides a detailed overview of soil physical, chemical, and biological properties used in field investigations and land evaluation.
This presentation begins by introducing soil structure and internal ped and void surface features, emphasizing how they affect soil behavior and interpretation. It explains the identification of concentrations, pedogenic carbonates, and redoximorphic features, and their significance in understanding soil formation and environmental conditions. Participants will examine soil consistence and its role in determining soil strength, stability, and response to external forces. The course also explores the presence and characteristics of roots, pores, and soil fauna, highlighting their contribution to soil structure and biological activity. In addition, it covers selected chemical properties of soils and their impact on soil functionality and land use. Key environmental factors such as soil water and soil temperature dynamics are also discussed, emphasizing their influence on soil processes, plant growth, and environmental interactions.
This 3 PDH online interactive presentation is designed for engineers, soil scientists, environmental professionals, and planners seeking a practical understanding of soil properties and processes for field analysis, classification, and land use applications.
