Historical Overview of Dynamic Pedology and Soil Sciences

Jean Cheyson

Dynamic pedology, also known as soil genesis, is the study of how soils form and change over time. It seeks to understand the processes and factors that influence the formation, composition, and properties of soils. The study of dynamic pedology dates back to the 19th century, when scientists such as Vasily Dokuchaev and Hans Jenny began to explore the relationship between soil properties and their environment. Dokuchaev is considered the founder of soil science, and his work on soil formation and classification set the foundation for much of modern dynamic pedology
