However, it is not internationally well known and therefore the need arose to provide a tool by which South African soil taxonomists can convert South African soil classifications and profile descriptions to the international classifications of the World Reference Base (WRB) for soil resources. The diagnostics and tacit knowledge presented in this publication are therefore based on the SAT and the WRB. When necessary, further substantiation was derived from the Land Type Survey of South Africa. The adopted procedure is effective in providing a reasonable classification based on the South African soil forms and families, while excluding certain WRB soil groups and qualifiers, because these are irrelevant to South African taxonomy. Lastly, this publication also highlights some peculiarities, omissions and inconsistencies observed between the SAT and WRB. 606 $aSoil science, sedimentology$2bicssc 610 $aWorld Reference Base (WRB) 610 $aUSDA Soil Taxonomy 610 $asoil classification systems 610 $adiagnostic horizons 610 $adystrophic 610 $amesotrophic 610 $aeutrophic 610 $aorganic O horizon 610 $abase saturation 610 $aSouth African soil taxonomy 615 7$aSoil science, sedimentology 700 $avan Huyssteen$b CW$01746445 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910639975703321 996 $aRelating the South African Soil Taxonomy to the World Reference Base for Soil Resources$94178011 997 $aUNINA
