pedosphere

The pedosphere is the foundation of life on this planet.

Environmental soil science studies our interaction with the pedosphere on beyond crop production.

The sum total of all the organisms, soils, water and air is termed as the "pedosphere".

In this case, hydropedology focuses on the interface between the hydrosphere and the pedosphere.

The pedosphere, or soil, is the planetary interface where Earth's five great global 'spheres' interact.

In the pedosphere it is safe to assume that gases are in equilibrium with the atmosphere.

These are the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and pedosphere.

Small burrowing mammals store food, grow young and may hibernate in the pedosphere altering the course of soil evolution.

Soil science covers the outermost layer of the Earth's crust that is subject to soil formation processes (or pedosphere).

Soil occupies the pedosphere, one of Earth's spheres that the geosciences use to organize the Earth conceptually.

The pedosphere lies below the vegetative cover of the biosphere and above the hydrosphere and lithosphere.

The whole of the planet's soil ecosystems is called the pedosphere where a large biomass of the Earth's biodiversity organizes into trophic levels.

The uppermost part of the lithosphere that chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere.

It aims to understand the physical problems and the issues of lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere, and global flora and fauna patterns (biosphere).

A useful candidate for this purpose is the pedosphere, which can retain information of its climatic and geochemical history with features lasting for centuries or millennia.

Due to the numerous interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere that are hosted within the pedosphere, more integrated, less soil-centric concepts are also valuable.

Gases that escape from the pedosphere to the atmosphere include the gaseous byproducts of carbonate dissolution, decomposition, redox reactions and microbial photosynthesis.

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth.

The Critical Zone includes the land surface, vegetation, and water bodies, and extends through the pedosphere, unsaturated vadose zone, and saturated groundwater zone.

Environmental soil science is the study of the interaction of humans with the pedosphere as well as critical aspects of the biosphere, the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere.

The Gaia theory posits that the Earth is a self-regulating complex system involving the biosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrospheres and the pedosphere, tightly coupled as an evolving system.

There is a realization that the pedosphere needs to be distinctly recognized as a dynamic interface of all terrestrial ecosystems and be integrated into the Earth System Science knowledge base.

Within the body of physical geography, the Earth is often split either into several spheres or environments, the main spheres being the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and pedosphere.

The pedosphere acts as the mediator of chemical and biogeochemical flux into and out of these respective systems and is made up of gaseous, mineralic, fluid and biologic components.

Shales worldwide are, to a considerable extent, simply soil clays that have been formed in the pedosphere and eroded and deposited in the ocean basins, to become lithified at a later date.
