Kuwait Soil Taxonomy[electronic resource] /by Shabbir A. Shahid, Samira A. S. Omar. - 1st ed. 2022. - XLI, 149 p. 54 illus., 49 illus. in color.online resource.

Soil classification systems and Kuwait soil taxonomy hierarchy -- The soil that we attempt to classify -- Horizons, layers and characteristics diagnostics for the higher categories of soil classification in Kuwait -- Families and series differentia -- Identification of the taxonomic class of a soil -- Kuwait soil taxonomy hierarchy – Soil families and soil series -- Laboratory soil procedures for Kuwait soil taxonomy.

This book provides guidelines to key soil taxa in the deserts of Kuwait and guidance to associated procedures for laboratory analyses of soils, leading to land use planning on informed decisions. Soils are essential to provide food, feed, and fiber in addition to multiple ecosystem services that sustain life on earth. To achieve the above services sustainably, it is essential to use soils rationally based on their potential for specific uses. This requires establishing national soil classification systems to assess soils locally and to provide guidance to other countries where similar soils may be occurring. Once soil classification is established, it becomes easier to adopt technologies established on similar soils and environmental conditions without conducting long-term and expensive experimental trial. The taxa are established based on soil’s morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties and climatic factors. It offers opportunities to maintain future soil surveys and their correlation to the soils of Kuwait. The book is useful in other arid region countries where similar soil and environmental conditions are existing, such as Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. The book also has international relevance, as it was prepared by extracting definitions from USDA-NRCS keys to soil taxonomy, and sections related to soils of Kuwait are added in the book. The book is a unique and excellent addition to the international soil literature.
