pédologue

CONT: Le pédologue décrit les sols suivant l'assemblage des différents horizons et établi un profil de sol. De nombreux critères comme la granulométrie, la nature chimique, l'origine, l'épaisseur des horizons, les différentes phases [...] entrent en jeu.

OBS: Sometimes terms which refer to branches of soil science, such as ""pedology"" ... and ""edaphology"" ..., are used as if synonymous with ""soil science."" The diversity of names associated with this discipline is related to the various associations concerned ... Because an understanding of soil science is important to the correct practice of a wide variety of disciplines, it is not unusual to find soils specialists within related disciplines. Soils specialists within related disciplines sometimes choose to refer to themselves as ""soils scientists"", leading to some confusion as to qualifications.

CONT: [...] los pedólogos interpretaban las características de los suelos como resultantes de la interacción de las condiciones ambientales que prevalecían en la época en que se examinaban.
OBS: Comparar con ""edafólogo"", ""científico del suelo"", ""edafología"", ""pedología"" y ""ciencia del suelo"".
