Paper Summary

The Polish Soil Classification, 6th edition (SGP6) aims to update soil classification in Poland based on current scientific knowledge and practical needs. It defines soil as the surface part of the earth's crust that provides water and nutrients to living organisms. SGP6 categorizes soils into orders, types, and subtypes, with additional features like variety, genus, and species. The classification system correlates with the WRB and Soil Taxonomy systems.
