There is an ever-increasing recognition in Texas and nationally that soil is a basic non-renewable resource of critical importance to the economy and well being of society. Awareness of this resource has enhanced the urgency for increased analytical data to document important physical and chemical properties of soils so they can be more accurately inventoried, classified and managed. The TAMU Characterization Lab functions as an integral support facility for faculty, graduate students and the Texas Soil Survey Program. The intended audience includes researchers, extension specialists, educators and service personnel with expertise in soil resources. This data will provide baseline soils information for those personnel conducting soil surveys, interpreting the behavior and management of soils and utilizing these resources for agriculture, ranching, forestry, residential development, road construction and waste disposal. This database starts with the most recent pedons analyzed and will include older data as it is translated from an earlier computer format. New data will be added to this list as soils are analyzed and the results verified. NOTE - All classifications were obtained from the USDA/NRCS Soil Classification database based on soil series name.
