Section 3: Applied Scenarios in Soil Science
These soils lessons are examples of the principles of soil genesis, classification, and development in agronomic scenarios.
Soil Genesis and Development, Scenario 1 - Agroecosystem Soil, Food and Fiber
This case study addresses how soil formed in different geographical locations of the world influences food and fiber production.
Soil Genesis and Development, Scenario 2 - Biosolid Addition and Soil Formation
This case study addresses where geographically soil addition of municipal organic wastes occurs and how this addition affects soil profile development and the use of soils as a sustainable resource.
Soil Genesis and Development, Scenario 3 - Soils and Salts
This case study addresses how soil formed in different parts of the landscape influences productivity in the broad sense, of both economic and non-economic flora and fauna.
