In contrast to natural pedogenesis leading to divergence of soil To that of natural soil development and is thus usually associated with soilĭegradation. The direction of agropedogenesis is largely opposite Soil-forming factors and that agropedogenesis is therefore much faster than That the factor humankind dominates over the effects of the five natural The disregard of other functions inevitably lead to soil degradation. Of anthropedogenesis is the narrowing of soil development to only oneįunction (e.g. crop production for agropedogenesis), and this function isīecoming the main soil-forming factor. The multidimensional attractor space of agropedogenesis. Thresholds and stages of soil degradation, and, finally, (5) a definition of (4) analysis of phase diagrams of master soil properties to identify
Of soil degradation, (3) selection and analysis of master soil properties, Theĭeveloped theory of agropedogenesis consists of (1) broadening the classicalĬoncept of factors → processes → properties → functions along with their feedbacks to the processes, (2) a new concept of attractors The sixth factor of soil formation, and deepen it to encompass agropedogenesis as the most important direction of anthropedogenesis. We introduce a theory of anthropedogenesis – soil development under the main factor “humankind” – A unifying theory of soilĭevelopment under agricultural practices, of agropedogenesis, is urgently needed. Individual degradation processes of soils under agricultural use, generalĬoncepts of agropedogenesis are absent. Although we have an advanced mechanistic understanding of Land area), and agriculture has immense effects on soil formation andĭegradation. Agricultural land covers 5.1×10 9 ha (ca. 50 % of potentially suitable
