New soil classification system revolutionizes land management and conservation efforts!
The article discusses how soils and their landscapes can be classified based on their natural characteristics and spatial organization. The researchers propose a system called soil taxonomy to categorize soils according to their properties and how they are organized vertically. They also suggest that soil landscapes, which are combinations of soils and land forms, should be studied and classified based on their functions and natural features. This approach can help in various fields like agriculture, forestry, and erosion control. Overall, the goal is to develop a new field of study called pedogeography to better understand and classify soilscapes.
