Book Description
"The application of lime to soils brings about beneficial results in several ways. It stimulates the proper decomposition of the organic matter in the soil, neutralizes acids in the soil, improves tho physical condition of heavy soils, supplies lime to growing plants, or makes available other elements in the soil. The great majority of the soils of the East, South and portions of the Central West are deficient in lime and will respond in increased yields to applications of lime. In the following pages information is presented regarding the materials used in liming their preparation and use, as well as a discussion of the chemical changes brought about in the soil by lime, so far as they are known. The relative merits of different forms of lime are discussed and data furnished whereby the value of any particular form of lime for agricultural purposes may be determined approximately. The bulletin has been prepared primarily from the point of view of materials used in liming and the principles involved in their use." -- p. [2]
Proximal Soil Sensing

Book Description
This book reports on developments in Proximal Soil Sensing (PSS) and high resolution digital soil mapping. PSS has become a multidisciplinary area of study that aims to develop field-based techniques for collecting information on the soil from close by, or within, the soil. Amongst others, PSS involves the use of optical, geophysical, electrochemical, mathematical and statistical methods. This volume, suitable for undergraduate course material and postgraduate research, brings together ideas and examples from those developing and using proximal sensors and high resolution digital soil maps for applications such as precision agriculture, soil contamination, archaeology, peri-urban design and high land-value applications, where there is a particular need for high spatial resolution information. The book in particular covers soil sensor sampling, proximal soil sensor development and use, sensor calibrations, prediction methods for large data sets, applications of proximal soil sensing, and high-resolution digital soil mapping. Key themes: soil sensor sampling – soil sensor calibrations – spatial prediction methods – reflectance spectroscopy – electromagnetic induction and electrical resistivity – radar and gamma radiometrics – multi-sensor platforms – high resolution digital soil mapping - applications Raphael A.
