Laboratory data are critical to the understanding of the properties
and genesis of a single pedon, as well as to the understanding of
fundamental soil relationships based on many observations of a
large number of soils. Development of both an analytical database
and the soil relationships based on those data are the cumulative
effort of generations of soil scientists at the Soil Survey
Laboratory (SSL). The purpose of the Soil Survey Investigations
Report (SSIR) No. 42, Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual is to
document methodology and to serve as a reference for the laboratory
analyst. It is expected that this document will continue to evolve
and change over time as new methods are developed and old methods
are modified or retired based on new knowledge or technologies.
This manual is an historical document in that it describes both
current and obsolete methods at the SSL. This manual also provides
historical perspective, documenting the contributions of many soil
scientists who have gone before us. Many of these scientists are
noted in the section on contributors. Illustration are in full
color and black and white.
