pedogenesis

Cutans provide physical evidence, observable in the field, as to the degree and nature of pedogenesis.

The classification is based mainly on soil morphology as an expression pedogenesis.

Very few of them, try to answer to the question: How fast do they start pedogenesis (viz., differentiating horizons)?

They can contribute to processes such as pedogenesis, seed dispersal, and either increases or decreases in biodiversity.

Pedogenesis or soil evolution (formation) is the process by which soil is created.

Associated with late Quaternary vegetation changes were changes of pedogenesis and of soil systems.

This creates conditions nearer optimum for vascular plant growth; pedogenesis or the formation of soil is the most important process.

Porosity in finer material below the aggregating influence of pedogenesis can be expected to approximate this value.

Subaqueous soils: pedogenesis in a submersed environment.

Soil classification can be approached from both the perspective of pedogenesis and from soil morphology.

Differing concepts of pedogenesis, and differences in the significance of morphological features to various land uses can affect the classification approach.

Pedology - study of soils in their natural environment that deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, and soil classification.

Pedology mainly deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, soil classification.

Soil formation, or pedogenesis, is the combined effect of physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic processes on soil parent material.

Ecosystem processes, such as primary production, pedogenesis, nutrient cycling, and various niche construction activities, regulate the flux of energy and matter through an environment.

This dehydration or "aging" process is now known to be intimately associated with pedogenesis in alluvial floodplains and desert environments.

The soil forming process (pedogenesis) can begin without the aid of biology but is significantly quickened in the presence of biologic reactions.

Soil series consist of pedons that are grouped together because of their similar pedogenesis, soil chemistry, and physical properties.

Until the late 1960s, soil chemistry focused primarily on chemical reactions in the soil that contribute to pedogenesis or that affect plant growth.

This led to the development of empirical models to describe pedogenesis, such as climofunctions, biofunctions, topofunctions, lithofunctions, and chronofunctions.

The drier climate slows pedogenesis and soils no longer contribute the limestone building mineral components that characterize biostasy.

The product of pedogenesis, it commonly occurs as dark red redox concretions that usually form platy, polygonal, or reticulate patterns.

On Earth, this often happens in stream valleys as the result of the formation of duricrusts, i.e. silcrete or ferricrete, by pedogenesis.

Any natural process that continues to act upon, maintain or modify either material or form (for example tectonics, sediment transport, pedogenesis) represents another aspect of geodiversity.

Pedology deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, and soil classification, while edaphology studies the way soils influence plants, fungi, and other living things.
