Soil ecological units

Soil ecological units are classifications that group areas based on their soil types, characteristics, and how these influence plant growth and ecosystems. These units consider factors like soil texture, fertility, moisture, and biological activity, helping us understand how soils support different habitats and land uses. They are used in environmental planning, agriculture, and conservation to manage land sustainably, ensuring the health of ecosystems and optimizing plant and crop growth by recognizing the unique qualities of each soil type and its role in the broader environment.
