Bibliography of Soils Studies

Second to maps of sunken treasure, one of the most frequent requests that we encounter is sources of SOILS information for the insular Caribbean. Here is a starter list of soils studies that readers are urged to update with a call or 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.
