Publications by Topic

The objective of the publication is to present the prominent characteristics of representative soils and how they may affect soil use and management. The Atlas is meant to give a generalized view of the soil resources in the state and serve as an introduction to understanding their complex nature.  This digital publication is availble for download from the University of Kentucky Libraries.
