Examples include consociation, diagnostic horizon, taxadjunct, and pedon. The short commentary that accompanies many of the terms provides information about the importance of the item in soil classification, soil interpretation, or understanding soil genesis (see Cumulic subgroup for an example).
From a geological viewpoint, the soil is an epidermal unit of a geologic body. Within geography, the soil is an element of the physical environment that varies in space and time―a good to preserve from degradation and erosion. There is a strong relationship between soils and the other branches of physical geography.
