Translation for 'pedogenesis' from English to Icelandic

pedogenesis

jarðmyndun {kv} [myndun jarðlaga]jarð.

• The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed a supra-national classification, which offers useful generalizations about pedogenesis in relation to the interactions between the main soil-forming factors.
• Pedogenesis is studied as a branch of pedology, the study of soil in its natural environment.
• There is now ample evidence to support Darwin's conclusions, and in many areas biota that burrow in soil are major agents of pedogenesis.
• Cutans provide physical evidence, observable in the field, as to the degree and nature of pedogenesis. The ability to assess cutans is a core skill in soil morphology and paleopedology.
• The theory of biorhexistasy describes climatic conditions necessary for periods of soil formation (pedogenesis) separated by periods of soil erosion.

• Pedologists are now also interested in the practical applications of a good understanding of pedogenesis processes (the evolution and functioning of soils), like interpreting its environmental history and predicting consequences of changes in land use, while agronomists understand that the cultivated soil is a complex medium, often resulting from several thousands of years of evolution.
• He introduced the idea that the geographical variations in soil type could be explained by other variables besides geological factors (parent material), such as climatic and topographic factors, and by the period of time since the initial pedogenesis (soil formation).
• These processes generating the subaerial unconformity can include wind degradation, pedogenesis, dissolution processes such as karstification as well as fluvial processes such as fluvial erosion, bypass and river rejuvenation.
• Van Breemen was born in Haarlem on 9 July 1942. Between 1986 and 2004 he was a professor of pedogenesis at Wageningen University.
• The enhanced penetration of soils by its root system appears to have had a profound impact on pedogenesis (the development of soils) during the Late Devonian.

• Topsoil is naturally produced in the process of soil formation or pedogenesis.
• The stratigraphy of block A appears to be undisturbed and non-mixed based on multiple lines of evidence including: the lack of artifact sorting by size from the top to bottom of Block A, pedogenesis forming calcium carbonate present only on artifacts in the deepest layers of Block A, and proper chronological ordering of numerous OSL dates.
• Such groups of sites are used to assess the influence of time as a factor in pedogenesis.
• Porosity in finer material below the aggregating influence of pedogenesis can be expected to approximate this value.
• Primary succession leads to conditions nearer optimum for vascular plant growth; pedogenesis or the formation of soil, and the increased amount of shade are the most important processes.
