    This document provides an introduction to the topic of soil geography. It discusses what constitutes soil from both an edaphology and pedology perspective. Soils are defined as important ecosystems that provide provisioning, regulating, supportive and cultural services. Soil geography examines soils using geographic principles of human-nature linkages and spatial and temporal distributions. It is an interdisciplinary field that considers the processes that influence the patterns and distributions of soils and requires supporting knowledge in fields like physics, chemistry, biology, geomorphology and climate.

    What constitutes soil?
    Edafologi – Tanah  habitat dan media tumbuh
    • Agronomi, Ekologi, Biologi

    Pedologi – Tanah  geological product / entity


    • geografi, geomorfologi, taksonomi tanah (Gardiner

    Soils as Ecosystem Services
    • provisioning (providing goods such as water,
    food, medicines, lumber, etc.),

    • regulating (processes that purify water,


    decompose wastes, control pests, or modify
    atmospheric gases),

    • supportive (assisting with nutrient cycling, seed


    dispersal, primary biomass production, etc.) and

    • cultural (providing spiritual uplift, scenic views,


    and outdoor recreation opportunities).
