Pedology (from Greek: πέδον, pedon, "soil"; and λόγος, logos, "study") is a discipline within soil science which focuses on understanding and characterizing soil formation, evolution, and the theoretical frameworks for modeling soil bodies, often in the context of the natural environment. [1]
Paedology (also spelled pedology or paidology) is the study of children's behavior and development. It may be considered distinct from pedagogy , the art or science of teaching, and pediatrics , the field of medicine relating to children.
The science of soil science (pedology) is a natural description of the soil regardless of its relation to the plant world, and without worrying about its utility for commercial purposes. Die landwirthſchaftliche Bodenkunde (Agrologie) iſt die Kenntniß des Bodens in ſeiner Beziehung zur Pflanze und landwirthſchaftlichen Nutzung.
The history of edaphology is not simple, as the two main alternative terms for soil science—pedology and edaphology—were initially poorly distinguished. [10] Friedrich Albert Fallou originally conceived pedology in the 19th century as a fundamental science separate from the applied science of agrology, [11] a predecessor term for edaphology, [12] a distinction retained in the current ...
Pedology (pědǒ'lōgy [needs IPA]), (from the Greek pedon = soil, earth), is the study of soils in its natural environment. It is one of two main branches of soil science, the other being edaphology. Pedology deals with pedogenesis, soil morphology, soil classification and soil distribution.
Pedometric mapping, or statistical soil mapping, is data-driven generation of soil property and class maps that is based on use of statistical methods. [1] [2] [3] Its main objectives are to predict values of some soil variable at unobserved locations, and to access the uncertainty of that estimate using statistical inference i.e. statistically optimal approaches.

[1] [2] [3]Physical geography is the branch of natural science which deals with the processes and patterns in the natural environment such as the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere geosphere and global flora and fauna patterns ...
It is one of two main branches of soil science, the other being pedology. The term is also applied to the study of how soil influences man's overall use of the land. General subfields within edaphology are agricultural soil science (known by the term agrology in some regions outside of the United States and Canada) and environmental soil science.
