New Publication: The Australian Soil Classification - An Interactive Key

[Lyn Craven]

Taxacomers may be interested in the following announcement that was sent to
the DELTA list.

>From the viewpoint of  compiling databases, it is of some interest to note
the large number of taxa included in this interactive key.

And, from a herbarium data perspective,  plant collectors in Australia can
now name their own soils!!

Regards,   Lyn Craven
