Greetings:

I am working on numerical ordination of soil classification and is there any
other articals on the subject besides the works of Hole, Bidwell, Sarkar,
Addiscott, and Wagnet. The Listings I have so far are:

Sokal, R.P. and Sneath, P.H.A. 1963. Principle of Numerical Taxonomy.
Freeman, San Fransico.
Sarkar, P.K., Bidwell, O.W., and Marcus, L.F. 1966. Selection of
characteristics for numerical classification of soils. Soil Sci. Soc. Amr.
Proc. 30:269-72.
Bidwell, O.W., and Hole, F.D. 1964. An experiment in numerical classification
of Kansas soils. Soil Sci. Soc. Amr. Proc. 28:263-8.
Hole, F.D., and M. Hironaka. 1960. An experiment in ordination of some soil
profiles. Soil Sci. Soc. Proc. 309-312.

Hello. My name is Judy Schofield and I am a graduate student at Miami
University in Oxford, Ohio, earning a Masters degree in Environmental
Sciences. My thesis work will focus on the decomposition of leaf litter,
particularly the fate of condensed tannins after leaf fall and in the
early stages of litter decomposition. I plan to characterize tannin
flow both qualitatively and quantitatively. Is it possible to extract
tannins from soil while maintaining their structure? I have had limited
success thus far recovering added tannin from soil. I can recover only
about one-half of tannin which I add to soil in aqueous form. I would
appreciate any suggestions and can provide more detailed information
pertaining to my experiences thus far. Sincerely, Judy Schofield

Sorry about the my screw ups. My computer got messed up on the last Bommer
Banger storm. When I retyped my Address list, I copied the E-mail addreses
wrong.

Again Sorry

Dear Subscribers,

I am happy to announce the creation of Trickle-L, a new
mail list hosted by the listserver at University of Nebraska -
Lincoln (listserv@unl.edu). The purpose of this list is for the
unmoderated discussion of all aspects of trickle or drip
irrigation. The list owner for Trickle-L is Richard Mead
(rmead@asrr.arsusda.gov). To join Trickle-L, send email to
listserv@unl.edu with the following message:

SUB TRICKLE-L First Last

where 'First' refers to your first or given name and 'Last' your
family name. You should receive notification of your subscription
by email shortly after the listserv daemon receives your request.
If any difficulty arises please contact the list owner at the
above address.

Sincerely,
Jerome Pier

Hello Manager,
I have asked my e-mail address be taken off SOIL_L but somehow I keep

from SOIL-L?

Thanks.

I am a research associate mapping the relative sensitivity
of ecosystems to acidic deposition. I am using potential
evapotranspiration as one of my data layers in a model. I would
ideally like to have actual evapotranspiration.
Please could someone give me further information to the following
reference.

Box, E.O. , 1978, SOLWAT: A Minimal-Input Soil Water Simulation
System Applicable to a Full Range of Natural Conditions. User
Manual for Version 2.2.

I presume it is a computer program. Is it available via ftp?

Thanks,

Howard Cambridge

I am a Ph.D student at Wye College, University of London. I come from
Botswana in Southern Africa. I did my M.Sc ( Pedology, Soil Survey and
Land Evaluation ) at the Uninersity of Reading in 1990. In Botswana, I am
a lecturer in General Soil Science for third year Environmental Science
Students.

I am on study leave and my research topic is "The use of soil survey data
to predict potential soil loss using GIS techniques." Soil survey data(
texture, slope, organic carbon, Calcium caronate, Structure, Met. data )
has already been collected and will be fed into GIS( SPANS ) to predict
soil erosion in an area of study. I am also interested in soil erosion
prediction models like EPIC, RUSLE, WEPP etc and if I can get hold of
them I wish I could use them for my theses. So could you please link me with
researchers in that area since we don't have them here at the moment, may
be they can help us with addresses where they can be acquired.

The difficulty with my research is that a decision has to be made on the
type of soil and met. information to be used. "Which soil and
metereological attributes has to be used to make soil loss predictions? "
Is it absolutely crucial to validate whhatever predictions were made by
doing field experiments in my area of study? I hope you experienced
researchers out there will help me with answers to those questions.

Thank you very much.

I noticed you post of introduction and thought maybe you might be
interested in contacting the following researcher:

Robert B. Grossman
Research Soil Scientist
National Soil Survey Laboratory (NSSL)
U.S.D.A, Soil Conservation Service
Federal Building, Room 152
100 Centennial Mall North
Lincoln, Nebraska 68508-3866
(402)-437-5363

He is working on new field methods to measure soil characteristics that may
effect soil erosion.

I work with soil survey and I am also interested in the use of GIS and
soil interpretation. I hope this might be of some help, although not
an answer to your questions.

Good Luck.
