Soil Formation Processes

Soil Formation Processes is a geological framework that systematically accounts for the development of soil profiles through the interaction of climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time, distinguishing it from other pedological concepts by focusing on the dynamic mechanisms and environmental factors driving soil horizon differentiation and evolution.
