Soil morphology is defined as the branch of soil science that deals with the description, using standard terminology, of in situ spatial organization and physical properties of soil regardless of potential use.
Soil morphology is the branch of soil science dedicated to the technical description of soil, [1] particularly physical properties including texture, color, structure, and consistence. Morphological evaluations of soil are typically performed in the field on a soil profile containing multiple horizons .
focuses on basic soil chemical properties – pH, electrical conductivity, soil organic carbon, and soil nutrients, namely nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and boron (B). Methods to determine these properties, and
Jul 29, 2015 · Soil chemistry plays a key role in vegetative productivity and species composition and is largely determined by weathering of rock, rock type, the cation exchange capacity of the soil, acid production resulting from microbial and root respiration, and management strategies of the soil.

Soil morphology is all that can be seen and felt about a soil. It includes not only “what is there” but also how it is “put together” – its architecture. To many, the main components of soil morphology include horizonation, texture, color, redoximorphic features, porosity, structure, and consistence, i.e., the look and feel of the soil. Type.
Soils: Genesis and Geomorphology is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on all aspects of soils. The book’s introductory chapters on soil mor-phology, physics, mineralogy and organisms prepare the reader for the more advanced and thorough treatment that follows.
