Soil morphology - Wikipedia
Soil morphology is the branch of soil science dedicated to the technical description of soil, [1] particularly physical properties including texture, color, structure, and consistence. Morphological evaluations of soil are typically performed in the field on a soil profile containing multiple horizons .

1.7: Describing Soil Morphology and Identifying Soils
2024年9月10日 · By describing basic soil morphology, such as soil color and texture, combined with the soils expected to be present based on work by the soil survey, the soil series that are present can be accurately determined. Two methods are presented below.
An understanding of soil morphology and the spatial distribution of soil properties is critical in the land-use decision making process. This two week course will cover topics such as soil morphology, soil forming factors, soil genesis, soil classification, soil mapping, and soil geomorphology.
Different kinds of soil profiles are determined by the type, number, arrangement, and the major characteristics of recognisable horizons. These horizons are described in terms of colour, texture, structure, consistence and the occurrence of observable inclusions.
Soils: Genesis and Geomorphology is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on all aspects of soils. The book’s introductory chapters on soil mor-phology, physics, mineralogy and organisms prepare the reader for the more advanced and thorough treatment that follows.
