Soils Science Library
Below is the resource library associated with our new educational resource - Guide to Soils - the Life Giving Layers Beneath our Feet.
Whether you're studying for professional licensure, working in agriculture, engineering, or environmental science, or simply curious about the world beneath us, this guide delivers a practical yet profound understanding of soil formation, classification, and evaluation. It introduces the intuitive and memorable "POT Process"—Prepare, Observe, Translate—designed to help users assess soils in real-world applications. Rich with illustrations, field-tested insights, and plain-language explanations, Guide to Soils is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand and work with Earth's most overlooked, life-giving system.
