Introduction

Welcome to the Third Edition of the Australian Soil Classification. The information provided here is intended as an on-line facility for all interested parties to assist with soil classification work. It is recommended, however, if any extended work is to be undertaken, that obtaining the book would be beneficial as it is convenient to use in the field where most soil description and classification takes place.

The print version of the Australian Soil Classification is available for purchase from CSIRO Publishing. Also at this site, PDF and ePUB versions of the ASC are available to download for free.
