Edaphology

Edaphology is one of two soil sciences which also consists of Pedology. Specifically, edaphology is the study in how soils influence and interact on/with living things, especially those of plants. It is the study of the ecological relationship soil has with land cultivation practices and plants. For the cultivation of land, edaphology also focuses on the conservation of soils and possible loss or erosion due to certain practices. Viticulturists often rely on edaphologists to assist and advise on the initial planting and planning of a vineyard including vine species selection for the type of soil available.
