Soil Survey Project Plan Summary
(from Agriculture Canada, 1987b)
PREAMBLE
The portion of the Soil Survey Project Plan contained in this appendix is contained in full in the publication Soil Survey Handbook - Volume I (Agriculture Canada, 1987b). This appendix provides only the summary format in order to provide the reader with a guide to the type of information which should be incorporated into the plans for a soil survey. The reader is encouraged to reference the publication in order to review the full project planning framework. However, since the actual project plan for a soil survey will vary due to differences in survey objectives and jurisdictions, it may be appropriate to develop a plan that is specific to those needs.
