Developments in soil classification have accompanied parallel
progress in our understanding of the soil system. However the
theories behind the classifications and the purposes for which they
were created have changed over time. The editors hope that this
comprehensive synthesis will help to rally soil scientists around
the world to develop an acceptable classification system for soils.
It is only when the global soil science community agrees to such a
system that we can truly say that we have science. Soil
Classification: A Global Desk Reference is the first book to
illustrate the current state of national and international soil
classification systems. In this groundbreaking reference,
distinguished soil scientists, many of whom were involved in the
design of their respective national or international systems,
evaluate developments in soil classification during the last
century. They review the concepts, practices, and goals that led to
the creation of individual classification systems and recommend
modifications to classification systems to meet new demands. The
documentation in this book serves as a foundation for the revision
of existing soil taxonomies and the creation of new ones.
