Pedology has two meanings according to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language . The first is the study of the physical and mental development and characteristics of children, and the second is the scientific study of soils, including their origins, characteristics, and uses. The Greek word ‘pedon’ means ground and ‘logy’ means study. The International Union of Soil Sciences and many of the member scientists within the organization interpret ‘pedology’ as encompassing all scientific study of the soil, and hence, all soil scientists are pedologists. |
