Abstract
This second version of Geopedology contains 27 chapters covering many subjects, including the basics of geopedology, implementation methods and techniques, and applications in land degradation and land use planning. Issues addressed by the contributing authors are diverse and complementary. This shows that geopedology is a far-reaching discipline that supports the inventory, scientific study, and practical management of natural resources. Geopedology aims at integrating soils and geoforms, two basic components of the earth’s geosphere. Use cases that apply different modalities or variants of geopedology are presented, from an open soilscape approach for scientific research, to a more structured survey approach for mapping purposes.
J. A. Zinck died before publication of this work was completed.
