MIDDLE AMERICAN FOLK SOIL TAXONOMY*
Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1981ABSTRACT Middle American folk soil taxonomies exhibit structures similar to those of folk biological taxonomies, but nomenclature patterns are quite unlike those found in other domains. Although many of the properties that differentiate technical soil taxa are recognized also in folk taxonomies, there is a low level of correspondence between technical ...

Soil geomorphic classification, soil taxonomy, and effects on soil richness assessments
Geoderma, 2007The study of pedodiversity and soil richness depends on the notion of soils as discrete entities. Soil classifications are often criticized in this regard because they depend in part on arbitrary or subjective criteria. In this study soils were categorized on the basis of the presence or absence of six lithological and morphological characteristics ...

There is a wealth of experience regarding the taxonomy of soils in Croatia. The first data on soils were collected within related natural sciences, mostly geological science, but in the late seventeenth century the dominant influence came from western European countries, especially German schools.

Soil Survey Horizons, 1999
Soil Taxonomy is long and complex, uses difficult terminology, and relies heavily on keys. As a result, it is probably thoroughly understood and actively used only by a small circle of pedologists, mostly American.

Soil taxonomy, teaching, and geography
Journal of Agronomic Education, 1980ABSTRACTSoil Taxonomy adopted by the Soil Conservation Service and used by soil scientists has not been readily accepted in many other disciplines. This lack of acceptance is particularly evident in many introductory courses in physical science at college level.

The press for a universal soil classification system and the increased popularity of the WRB has put pressure on Soil Taxonomy as a future global soil classification system. The increased complexity of the system has been criticized not only by international soil taxonomists but also by ecologists and geologists using the system in the USA.
