The Soils of the Philippines, however, is the first comprehensive summary of more than a century of soil-survey work in this country. It integrates the soil concepts of the reconnaissance soil-survey results, which commenced as early as 1934 and continued until the mid 1960s, with the semi-detailed soil surveys that continue to this day.  The result is the first-ever genetic key for classifying Philippine soils at soil series level; thus, making it possible for any newcomers to the soil survey field to confidently produce their own soil map, at a more detailed map scale, to suit the project requirements.  This book brings together discussions on soils and soil mapping units and up-to-date international techniques and technologies. It makes soils relevant to current political realities and national issues. As soil survey moves from a reductionist agricultural-development planning tool to a more holistic and integrated approach, to enable us to understand our dynamic and complex environment, The Soils of the Philippines will be the only source of authoritative and updated data on soil resources for macro-level resource management planning for decades to come.  With a vanishing breed of experienced soil surveyors, not only in the Philippines but also worldwide, it may remain the only book on Philippine soils for the next hundred years or more. Since soils follow a geological and not a human time frame, the contents of this volume will stay relevant for soil surveyors even in a fast changing world.  As the country leaps from an agricultural economy towards modernization and a more diversified economic base, some of the soil series in the Philippines, for example the Guadalupe series underlying the skyscrapers of Makati City, are  becoming extinct as a result of urban development. Therefore,  this book serves as the repository for the soils that we possess, the soils that have been lost through decades of urbanization while, at the same time, it creates a soil classification system for the soils we are yet to discover. 410 0$aWorld Soils Book Series,$x2211-1255 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aEntomology 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aGeoecology 606 $aEnvironmental geology 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aGeoecology/Natural Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 607 $aPhilippines$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aPhilippines$xEconomic conditions 607 $aPhilippines$2fast 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aGeoecology. 615 0$aEnvironmental geology. 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 14$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aEntomology. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aGeoecology/Natural Processes. 615 24$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 676 $a631.49 700 $aCarating$b Rodelio B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062471 702 $aGalanta$b Raymundo G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBacatio$b Clarita D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298384803321 996 $aThe Soils of the Philippines$92525793 997 $aUNINA
