	soilmaps
		Soil association: A kind of map unit used in soil surveys comprised of delineations, each of which shows the size, shape, and location of a landscape unit composed of two or more kinds of component soils or component soils and miscellaneous areas, plus allowable inclusions in either case.
		The Manual is intended primarily for use by a soil scientist engaged in the classification and mapping of soils and in the interpretation of soil surveys.
		The profile of this soil is similar to the one described as representative of the series, but the surface layer is a few inches thinner and the substratum typically is at a depth of 50 to 60 inches.

	Campaigning for organic food and farming and sustainable forestry -- Marker Assisted Plant Breeding
		The Soil Association welcomes publicly funded research to map the genetic sequence and structure of plants, offering an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the molecular biology of crops.
		The Soil Association would welcome publicly owned research using MAB, provided the technology is not used to promote a narrowing of genetic diversity in plant varieties.
		The Soil Association believes that although marker assisted breeding can play a useful role in the development of new varieties, it must not become a means to patent specific genes and access to genetic information provided by the technique must be made available free of charge to all scientists requiring it for research purposes.

	Soil Map for General Planning
		Each soil association is a unique natural landscape unit that has a distinctive pattern of soils and relief and drainage features.
		Thus, this is not a suitable map for planning the management of a farm or field or for selecting the location of a road, building, or similar structure because the kinds of soils in anyone soil association ordinarily differ from place to place in slope, depth, stoniness, drainage, or other characteristics that affect their management.
		It is 30 percent Evard soils, 22 percent Edneyville soils, and 22 percent Ashe soils.

	Soiled by the Natural Truth - Stop Labeling Lies at StopLabelingLies.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Soil Association, defender of the organic farming movement, is having difficulties with the guardians of truth and honesty in advertising.
		ASA agreed with Mr Hollis that most people would consider these substances to be chemicals, fertilisers or pesticides - in contrast to the Soil Association's claim that organic farming is "as natural as nature intended - produced only by natural, traditional, farming methods".
		In its defence the Soil Association argues that the "natural" pesticides it uses are not persistent in the soil and cannot be detected in food.
