| Popis: | The 1992 Australian Laboratory Handbook of Soil and Water Chemical Methods (the handbook) of Rayment and Higginson defines much of the contemporary soil chemical methodology used in Australia for soil fertility and land-resource survey assessments. In addition, codes from the handbook identify methodological details in Australian soil databases, while the codes summarize most tests used for certification purposes by the Australasian Soil and Plant Analysis Council (ASPAC) in its interlaboratory soil proficiency testing programs. A worthy, comprehensive replacement was required as the handbook is out of date in places and out of print. This article provides information on the handbook's replacement with a new book by Rayment and Lyons, titled Soil Chemical Methods-Australasia. Method codes and other strengths of the handbook have been retained and many new tests have been added. There are new chapters on acid sulfate soils, total miscellaneous elements, and miscellaneous extractable elements, plus inclusio... |
