Welcome to c/soilscience @ slrpunk.net!

A science based community to discuss and learn all things related to soils.

Notice Board

This is a work in progress, please don’t mind the mess.

Subdisciplines of soil science include:

  • Soil Taxonomy & mapping
  • Soil Fertility & Organic Amendments
  • Soil Chemistry & Remediation
  • Soil Mineralogy
  • Soil Physics
  • Soil Biology

These subdisciplines are used by various other disciplines, particularly those related to reclamation, remediation, and agriculture.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. Please use a tag.
