Description
The Kentucky Cooperative Soil Survey program depends on the soil characteization support of the Pedology-
Mineralogy Laboratory of UKAES in order to maintain a quality control over the soil survey activities in the state.
The UKAES, as one of the leaders in this program, provides soil characterization data as well as pedological and
soil use interpretations to USDA-NRCS scientists through an array of laboratory and field activities. This
infomration has been critical for the successful completion of the once over mapping of the state and is currently
used to update, modernize and digitize old soil surveys. Soil survey reports are the best available sources of
soil information. As demographics, technologies, land uses, and management practices change there is a strong
need to keep our soils information data bases current to address local, regional, and national concerns. The
research information generated through this project will enable private and public service sectors to make more
informed environmental assessments and resource management decisions.
