ABSTRACT WITHDRAWN

Abstract:
 Most of the current soil classification systems were elaborated before the recent boom of observation technologies, data storage and data processing developments.  

The soil science community is challenged to apply the accumulated knowledge on soil formation, soil differences and related functions in a modernized and simplified and to the extent possible global classification system.

The paper will summarize the numerical approaches that were applied to study taxonomic relationships of different soil groups to define natural populations of soils.
