Soil diversity (pedodiversity) is part of our natural and
cultural heritage. The preservation of the pedosphere is
essential for the protection of the biosphere and the Earth’s
systems, the regulation of climate, and for world food security.
In this book, reputed international experts discuss the state of
the art of pedodiversity analysis—analyzing the relationships
among biodiversity, pedodiversity, landform diversity,
lithodiversity, and land use diversity. The first of its kind,
the book is intended to be a combined handbook, historical
account of pedodiversity research, and essay on its future
challenges.
