211 Fundamental Changes in Soil Taxonomy
Oral Session
SSSA Division: PedologyDevelopment of Soil Taxonomy began in the early 1950’s. Over time the number of taxa has increased such that the system is difficult for even trained soil scientists to effectively apply. To examine these problems, a Fundamental Changes to Soil Taxonomy Task Force was established. The primary objective of the task force is to develop a suite of fundamental changes to Soil Taxonomy leading to a system that will be used by more than just experienced pedologists. This special session will provide a forum to illustrate and discuss a range of fundamental changes to Soil Taxonomy in the on-going debate.
