Since 1980, our understanding of the factors and processes
governing the distribution of soils on the Earth's surface has
increased dramatically, as have the techniques for studying soil
patterns. The approach used in this book relies on the National
Resources Conservation Service databases to delineate the
distribution of each of the eight diagnostic epipedons and 19
subsurface horizons, to identify the taxonomic level at which each
of these horizons is used, to develop an understanding of the role
of the factors and processes in their formation and to summarize
our latest understanding of their genesis. A chapter is devoted to
each diagnostic horizon (or combined horizons). This book is
intended to serve as a textbook in soil geography, a reference book
for geographers, ecologists and geologists and a tool for soil
instructors, landlookers, mappers, classifiers and information
technologists.
