Soil ecosystem services (ES) (e.g., provisioning, regulation/maintenance, and cultural) disservices (ED) are dependent on soil diversity/pedodiversity (variability of soils), which needs to be accounted for in the economic analysis business decision-making. The concept pedodiversity (biotic + abiotic) is highly complex can broadly interpreted because it formed from interaction atmospheric diver...

knowledge about spatial soil variation in terms of measured pedodiversity offers the possibility to estimate the quality and variance within a soil map. diversity indices and abundance distribution models are statistical tools which ecologists have applied for decades for analyzing the intrinsic regularities of various ecological entities. in this study relationships between soils evolution, la...

Pedodiversity is considered the cornerstone of biodiversity. This work aimed to (1) assess pedodiversity according vegetation, topographic factors, and lithology (2) identify major soil-forming factors on soil organic matter (SOM) stock at a 0–30 cm depth. These goals were reached using data from 147 georeferenced profiles distributed along 400–1000 m (≤1000) 1000–2134 (>1000) altitudinal gr...

I am sorry for disturbance but I would like to obtain any information relevant to current state of our paper. Review process in Biogeosciences is not so familiar for me. Paper Disturbances can control fine-scale pedodiversity in old-growth forest: Is the soil evolution theory disturbed as well? bg-2013-614, was submitted to Biogeosciences on 12th December 2013 and after open discussion we respo...

In taking an integrated ethnopedological approach, this study aims to investigate the meaning of the distribution of the toponyms used in traditional and recent cartography of Sardinia (southern Italy). It is particularly, but not only, focused on those related to soil resources. Sardinia is particularly interesting in this respect, as its unique history, geography, and linguistic position make...
