Altogether, the LISS General Soil Map comprises 37 soil associa- 

 tions. They are listed in the Legend along with the proportional extent 

 (percent) of LIS land they occupy. See Table 3. Table 3 also shows (a) that 

 the deep soils on uplands make up well over half of the total, (b) that soils 

 on terraces over sand and gravel make up half the remainder, and (c) that 

 soils on floodplains, organic soils, beaches and urban land as mapped are 

 much less extensive. 



Descriptions of each of the 37 soil associations have been pre- 

 pared (4). Figure 3 is an example. 



4.3 Soil properties 



Soil properties are used for predicting the behavior of soils 

 when used for specific purposes. Estimates of soil properties are based on 

 test data, field observations, past experiences and detailed examination of 

 the soils. Refer to Appendix C for an example of information on soil 

 properties that is available.
