National Committee on Soil and Terrain

A steering committee comprising representatives from key federal, state and territory land resource assessment agencies.

Widely used throughout Australia, this handbook provides one reference set of definitions for the characterisation of landform, vegetation, land surface, soil and substrate.

It advocates a comprehensive suite of land and soil attributes being recorded in a uniform manner, rather than the allocation of land or soil to preconceived types or classes.
