Classification of Urban and Industrial Soils in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (5 pp)
@article{Rossiter2007ClassificationOU, title={Classification of Urban and Industrial Soils in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (5 pp)}, author={David G. Rossiter}, journal={Journal of Soils and Sediments}, year={2007}, volume={7}, pages={96-100} }
AbstractBackground, Aim and Scope
Historically, built areas were ignored in soil mapping and in studies of soil formation and behaviour. It is now recognized that these areas, and therefore their soils, are of prime importance to human populations. Another trend is the large increase in reclaimed lands and new uses for old industrial areas. In several countries there are active projects to map such areas, either with locally-developed classification systems or ad-hoc names. Soil classification…
