Jordartene
Jordartene are the various types of soil found in landscapes, defined by their mineral and organic composition, texture, structure, chemistry, and formation history. They influence water movement, nutrient availability, and suitability for plants and land use.
Soils form through pedogenesis, driven by parent material, climate, living organisms, relief, and time. Over long
Classification relies on several criteria: texture (proportions of sand, silt, clay), drainage and water-holding capacity, pH
Relevance: knowledge of jordarter informs agriculture, forestry, construction, and environmental management. It guides crop selection, irrigation
