Link to Soil Taxonomy Document is dead

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I notice the link to the Soil Taxonomy document listed in the external links and one of the article sources is dead. Is there a better link that can be used to access this information on a site other than Wikipedia? I tried the USDA but I am having trouble finding a page explaining their soil taxonomy system.

Suggest putting percent in column after bullet

Latest comment: 7 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In order to make it easier to perceive the relative extent of soil types I suggest putting percent in column after the bullets. Here is a mock up of what it would look like (without description).

o 10 Alfisol
o 01 Andisol
o 12 Aridisol
o 18 Entisol
o 09 Gelisol
o 01 Histosol
o 15 Inceptisol
o 07 Mollisol
o 08 Oxisol
o 04 Spodosol
o 08 Ultisol
o 02 Vertisol
