Abstract

All soils on our planet are useful. They serve the ecological balance , plant and animal production or various uses of civilization (cf. Sect. 1.2). The larger the population of our Earth , the more different uses are competing for one and the same soil. This is why the following fundamental question is being raised more and more frequently: Is this soil suitable for a specific use? This question is as old as human interactions with soils . Already in the Stone Age , people had to ask themselves whether it would be profitable to clear the forest and convert it for agricultural purposes . The beginnings of soil classification are also rooted in the suitability of soils (cf. Chap. 7). The most important assessment is still the question of soil fertility or yield potential of soils for different crops. This is best portrayed in Roman and Greek literature, with the coincidence of the classification of soils and their suitability for use .
