    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.
