This paper reviews recent developments in studies of soil complexity, focusing on the
variability of soil types within soil landscapes. Changes in soil complexity are directly related …

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 …

Based on newly developed methods by the author, who is the inventor of HASM methods,
this handbook bridges the gap between the mathematical-oriented theory of surface …

A geomorphic hierarchical downscaling method was used to decompose the forms and
processes forming the landscapes and their subdivisions in the main region of Zayandeh …

At first, the notion of diversity seems clear and intuitive. However, other terms have
sometimes been used synonymously, such as variety, heterogeneity, variability, complexity …

This study introduces a novel gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) feature called
modified Rényi–Deng entropy, denoted as E RD α T f. The practical application involves the …

Pedodiversity conservation is critical for the sustainable use of soil resources and the
regulation of ecological security. To explore the relationship between pedodiversity and soil …

The coastal areas of the Canary Islands are particularly sensitive to changes, both from a
natural perspective and for their potential socio-economic implications. In this paper, the …

Anthropogenic soils created ex novo by land-use change in large scale farming are, from a
pedogenetic point of view, catastrophic events that bring the soils to time zero and change …

The pedosphere is a part of our natural heritage. Soils should be considered both for their
biological and for their geological resources. During the Anthropocene, human activities …
