Summary: The sandy cabornatic soils of the Pacific atolls are considered infertile and poorly suited for agriculture. The Republic of the Marshall Islands is comprised predominantly of atolls, and there is scant information on the fertility status of the Marshall Islands soils. A survey was conducted of the soils to quantify chemical properties and determine sihnificanr trends related to soil distribution and climate.
