Quantitative techniques for spatial prediction in soil survey are develo** apace. They
generally derive from geostatistics and modern statistics. The recent developments in …

Hydropedology is an intertwined branch of soil science and hydrology that encompasses
multiscale basic and applied research of interactive pedological and hydrological processes …

Soil map**, classification, and pedologic modeling have been important drivers in the
advancement of our understanding of soil from the earliest days of the scientific study of …

Pedometrics, the application of mathematical and statistical methods to the study of the
distribution and genesis of soils, has broadened its scope over the past two decades. The …

Geodiversity is a rather new, emerging topic in earth science. There is now increased
awareness of our need to understand patterns of geodiversity in different landscapes facing …

This paper discusses the study of taxonomic distance and pedodiversity by (1) deriving
taxonomic distances for the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB),(2) calculating …

Little attention has been paid to analyses of pedodiversity. In this study, quantitative aspects
of pedodiversity were explored for the USA based on the State Soil Geographic database …

Soils are dynamic components of terrestrial ecosystems that historically have been viewed
as economic resources by government and private interests. The large-scale conversion of …

Soil ecosystem services (ES)(eg, provisioning, regulation/maintenance, and cultural) and
ecosystem disservices (ED) are dependent on soil diversity/pedodiversity (variability of …

Abstract Using the Shannon Information Entropy (IE) as a soil structure metric is proposed to
analyze the effect of the particle size distribution (PSD) heterogeneity on soil bulk density …
