Abstract

Soil diversity (pedodiversity) is part of our natural and cultural heritage. The preservation of the pedosphere is essential for the protection of the biosphere and the Earth’s systems, the regulation of climate, and for world food security. In this chapter we discuss methods for summarizing pedodiversity, analyzing the relationships among biodiversity, pedodiversity, landform diversity, lithodiversity, and land use diversity.
