About This Book
2.1 Global Scale At the global scale, clear spatial patterns exist in the distribution of soil types as represented by the soil orders, the highest level of the USDA soil taxonomy system (Fig. 2‑1). The USDA soil taxonomy system (link) is one of several widely-used soil classification systems worldwide (link). The patterns you see in Fig. 2‑1 are strongly influenced by the global patterns of climate variables such as temperature and precipitation. In the frigid regions above 60°N latitude, we fi
