Soil Geography

Soil geography is the study of how different types of soil are distributed across the Earth's surface and how they relate to the environment. It examines factors like climate, vegetation, topography, and human activities that influence soil characteristics. Understanding soil geography is essential for agriculture, land use planning, and environmental conservation. Different soils support different plants and ecosystems, so knowledge of soil types helps us manage natural resources sustainably and address challenges like erosion, pollution, and food security. Ultimately, it connects the health of the earth’s soil with broader ecological and human well-being.
