Bibliography of Soils Studies

Second to maps of sunken treasure, one of the most frequent requests that Island Resources has encountered over the years has been sources of SOILS information for the insular Caribbean. Here is a starter list of soils studies from the former Island Resources Foundation library that is now housed at the Learning Resource Centre of the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College in the British Virgin Islands. We are requesting that readers update this list with an e-mail to Bruce Potter at < bpotter at irf.org >. We would be especially interested in sources of electronic and on-line soils studies. Thanks for your help in updating this resource and in making new resources more available to users throughout the insular Caribbean..
