- # Welcome to c/soilscience @ slrpunk.net! > A science based community to discuss and learn all things related to soils.  --- --- ## **Notice Board** *This is a work in progress, please don't mind the mess.* --- --- Subdisciplines of soil science include: - Soil Taxonomy & mapping - Soil Fertility & Organic Amendments - Soil Chemistry & Remediation - Soil Mineralogy - Soil Physics - Soil Biology These subdisciplines are used by various other disciplines, particularly those related to reclamation, remediation, and agriculture. ## **Rules** 1. Don't throw mud. Be kind and remember the human. 2. Keep it rooted (on topic). 3. Please use a tag. 4. No spam. 5. Memes are welcome, but the focus of this community is science-based --- --- ## **Resources** ### Blogs - [Wonder of Soil](https://wonderofsoil.substack.com/) ### Careers - [Geoarchaeology](https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/geoarchaeology-earth-sciences-to-understand-archaeological-record/heag067-geoarchaeology/) ### Chemistry - [Secondary and micronutrient availability by pH](https://www.pda.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/detailed-Truog-pH-chart.jpg) - [Secondary and micro nutrients availability by pH line graph](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Meixue-Zhou/publication/262880392/figure/fig5/AS:267984245620744@1440903831634/Relationships-between-availability-of-elements-and-soil-pH-25.png) - [Common Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms on Leaves Infographic](https://mander.xyz/post/2844853?scrollToComments=true) ### Classification - [USDA Soil Classification System](https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/resources/guides-and-instructions/soil-classification) ### Maps & Datasets #### Canada - [Canadian System of Soil Classificaiton](https://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/taxa/cssc3/index.html) - [1982 Canadian Manual for Describing Soils in the Field](https://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/publications/manuals/1982-forms/index.html) - [Alberta Soil Quality Criteria Relative to Disturbance](https://open.alberta.ca/publications/soil-quality-criteria-relative-to-disturbance-and-reclamation) this one is widely used across Canada - [Best management practices for conservation of reclamation materials in the mineable oil sands region of Alberta](https://open.alberta.ca/publications/9781460100486) - a good guide to basic reclamation and revegetation BMPs #### Europe - [Agrifood Soilscapes (UK)](https://www.landis.org.uk/soilscapes/) - [Datasets from the BGS (UK)](https://www.bgs.ac.uk/geological-data/) - [Datasets from the James Sutton Institute (UK)](https://www.hutton.ac.uk/learning/soilshutton/soil-data-and-maps) - [Scotland Environment Soil Maps](https://soils.environment.gov.scot/maps/) - [Soil Atlas of Europe](https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/soil-atlas-europe) - [UK Geochemical Atlas](https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/18016/1/Advanced_Soil_Geochemical_Atlas_of_England_and_Wales.pdf) - [UK Soil Observatory](https://www.bgs.ac.uk/map-viewers/uk-soil-observatory-ukso/) #### United States - [USDA web soil survey](https://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/) #### World - [Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas](https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/atlas-introduction) - [ISRIC World Soil Information](https://www.isric.org/explore) - [Soil Grids 250m 2.0](https://soilgrids.org/) ### Soil Contamination: - [Cornell Guide to Testing Contaminated Soils](https://cwmi.css.cornell.edu/guidetosoil.pdf) - [CCME Soil Guidelines for Contaminants](https://ccme.ca/en/resources/soil) - [Wikipedia Lists of Hyperaccumulators for Bioremediation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hyperaccumulators)  --- --- ## Similar Communities - [!geology@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/c/geology) - [!geophysics@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/c/geophysics) - [!geologycareers@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/c/geologycareers) - [!mining@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/c/mining) - [!openscience@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/openscience) - [!reclamation@slrpnk.net](/c/reclamation@slrpnk.net) --- ## Sister Communities ### Science and Research - [!scicomm@mander.xyz](/c/scicomm@mander.xyz) ### Biology and Life Sciences - [!anthropology@mander.xyz](/c/anthropology@mander.xyz) - [!microbiology@mander.xyz](/c/microbiology@mander.xyz) - [!biodiversity@mander.xyz](/c/biodiversity@mander.xyz) - [!palaeoecology@mander.xyz](/c/palaeoecology@mander.xyz) - [!palaeontology@mander.xyz](/c/palaeontology@mander.xyz) #### Plants and Gardening - [!balconygardening@slrpnk.net](/c/balconygardening@slrpnk.net) - [!gardening@mander.xyz](/c/gardening@mander.xyz) - [!houseplants@mander.xyz](/c/houseplants@mander.xyz) - [!plantid@mander.xyz](/c/plantid@mander.xyz) ### Physical Sciences - [!earthscience@mander.xyz](/c/earthscience@mander.xyz) - [!geography@mander.xyz](/c/geography@mander.xyz) - [!geospatial@mander.xyz](/c/geospatial@mander.xyz) - [!soilscience@slrpnk.net](/c/soilscience@slrpnk.net) ### Humanities and Social Sciences - [!archaeology@mander.xyz](/c/archaeology@mander.xyz) - [!cooking@mander.xyz](/c/cooking@mander.xyz) - [!folklore@mander.xyz](/c/folklore@mander.xyz) - [!history@mander.xyz](/c/history@mander.xyz) - [!old_maps@mander.xyz](/c/old_maps@mander.xyz) ### Memes - [!bushrat_confidential@slrpnk.net](/c/bushrat_confidential@slrpnk.net) - [!science_memes@mander.xyz](/c/science_memes@mander.xyz) --- --- **Find us on Reddit** - [r/sedimentology](https://www.reddit.com/r/sedimentology)
