The nature and composition of the soil mantle of regions as large as southern Africa, could be represented in many different ways. To avoid lengthy descriptions, however, and to show the geographical distribution, interrelationships and salient features

Antarctica and its unique biodiversity are increasingly at risk from the effects of global climate change and other human influences. A significant recent element underpinning strategies for Antarctic conservation has been the development of a system of
and Africa (Figure 2). Grasslands can be broadly categorized as temperate or tropical. Temperate grasslands have cold winters and warm to hot summers and often have deep fertile soils. Surprisingly, plant growth in temperate grasslands is often nutrient limited because much of the soil nitrogen is...

Unique soil units in FAO/UNESCO Soil Map of the World. Full size image Initially, in 2004, the first author created the soil database for the FAO/UNESCO 1995 soil map for quantification of water availability and quality in Africa9,10. The soil names were created as a concatenation of the...
Map courtesy of Dr. Nate Chaney. Soil organic carbon concentrations in sandy soils varied by continent and by climate zone. Most of the sandy soils from the databases are found in North America (− 120° to − 70°E), Africa and Europe (5° to 50°E), and Eastern Australia (150...
