- Horizons form, minerals and rocks weather, nutrients leach, and plant communities change. Soil scientists have learned to predict the current stage of these processes if given five key pieces of information about the soil's history — the five factors of soil formation — climate, organisms, topography, parent material, and time (Jenny 1941).

Jan 1, 2024 · The soil-forming processes are the reorganization and rearrangement of mineral and organic soil constituents resulting in contrasting soil layers at different stages of development leading to soil development, and the distinct soil layers are called soil horizons (Wakatsuki and Rasyidin, 1992).
Sep 18, 2020 · We show that soil age is a significant, but relatively weak, ecosystem driver across biomes, and provide evidence that, on average, parent material, climate, vegetation, and topography together explain 24 times more variation in multiple ecosystem properties than soil age alone (Figs. 1 – 3).

Nov 1, 2011 · Taking a holistic and evolutionary view, this paper synthesizes three general principles of soil change and pedogenesis in time and space (especially time). First, the principle of conservation plus evolution provides the reconciliation of fast and slow changes in multiphase soil systems.

Nov 25, 2021 · Relate the two main genetic pathways for forest soils in Canada to the two broad classes of parent materials. Identify the two main pathways for soil formation under water-saturated conditions in wetlands. Explain the effect of frost-action in permafrost soils on soil formation.
There is a demand for high-resolution quantitative soil data in many applications including agriculture, forestry, mining, land reclamation, and environmental science.
Traditional conceptual models of soil genesis often assume top-down soil formation below a static land surface. In contrast, many paleosols, especially those in loess, volcaniclastic sediment, alluvium, or colluvium, developed beneath an episodically or continually aggrading land surface.
