This book presents the basic concepts of quantitative soil science
and, within this framework, it seeks to construct a new body of
knowledge. There is a growing need for quantitative approach in
soil science, which arises from a general demand for improved
economic production and environmental management. Pedometrics can
be defined as the development and application of statistical and
mathematical methods applicable to data analysis problems in soil
science. This book shows how pedometrics can address key
soil-related questions from a quantitative point of view. It
addresses four main areas which are akin to the problems of
conventional pedology: (i) Understanding the pattern of soil
distribution in character space - soil classification, (ii)
Understanding soil spatial and temporal variation, (iii) Evaluating
the utility and quality of soil and ultimately, (iv) Understanding
the genesis of soil. This is the first book that address these
problems in a coherent quantitate approach.
