Wikipedia:WikiProject Soil/Soil Science Directory Structure

For those articles that fall within the context of Soil science (as in the study of the pedosphere) we employ the following structure:

The two main branches of soil science are pedology and edaphology.
- Pedology deals with soil in its natural setting and includes soil morphology and soil classification.
- Edaphology deals with soil as it affects people, plants and animals and includes agricultural soil science and environmental soil science.
The categorical sub fields of soil science are soil chemistry, soil physics, soil biology, soil scientists and soil science stubs

Categorical hierarchies:

Candidate categories: Pedogenesis \| Soil classification \| Soil morphology
