Soil Survey Division / Soil Bureau Publication Series
This is a set of originally 1,400 publications, covering a wide range of soil scientific research performed in New Zealand and the Pacific. They are being stored as hardcopies of reprints from scientific journals at our Lincoln site. For copyright reasons we cannot provide all of them in digital form. However, the list below provides links to some early items available from our Digital Library.
And a full index of items in .xlsx format is available from here.
The publications relate to the work of the Soil Survey Division (1933-1945), and its successor organization, NZ Soil Bureau (1946-1992).
