      abstract = {"This handbook specifies methods, standards and  terminology used in soil and land survey investigations  related to practical problems of land use and the  scientific study of land and soil. It has been widely used  and adopted as a standard throughout Australia, providing  one reference set of definitions for the characterisation  of landform and vegetation and for the description of  soils. The book advocates that a comprehensive suite of  land and soil attributes be recorded in a uniform manner.  This approach is held to be more useful than the allocation  of land or soil to preconceived types or classes. Its  usefulness is enhanced where computer facilities are  available. This revised edition contains significant  changes to the Vegetation chapter and revisions to the  Location chapter bringing it up-to-date with the use of  Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and changes to the  Substrate chapter relating to the regolith."--Provided by  publisher.},
