Description
This dictionary includes some 9200 terms, each with a definition and often and additional descriptive text in English, the terms being
translated in French, German and Spanish. It is more complete than similar previously published dictionaries or glossaries, and contains
all fields of soil science as well as some adjacent fields of other earth sciences, agriculture and engineering. Present concepts and
definitions are detailed along with earlier concepts, not only for historical reasons but also for developing new ideas. Concepts, terms
and definitions usual in literature of various countries are discussed and compared, to offer an appropriate exchange of ideas. Soil
classifications and methodologies for soil investigation coming from a score of European, American and other countries and international
organisations are presented, and correlations between names of soil taxa in different classifications are suggested.
Readers active
in all branches of soil science will find accessible answers to many of their questions, either directly referring to procedures used
in the organisations where they work, or related to way of thinking in other countries. Readers active in other branches, but needing
information on soils, will also find answers to this dictionary of great assistance to their research.
