The papers presented herein, with the exception of the first, were given at the special symposium "Diversity of Soils in the Tropics" at the 1977 American Society of Agronomy meetings. One objective of the symposium in the view of the organizers was to change the lingering misconception of the commonness of soils of the tropics to the realization that soils of the tropics are as diverse as are those of the temperate zone. It is the hope of the organizers and editors that the blend of these seven papers conveys to the readers that a wide diversity of soils indeed exists within the tropics.
