Objective
1.Present the basic concepts and their differences: Geodiversity, Biodiversity, Pedodiversity,
Geopedology, Pedogeomorphology, Morphopedology, Soilscapes, Soil Cover, Pedological Cover, (Pedo)
Chronosequences, (Pedo) Toposequences, (Pedo) Lithosequences, Catenas and Topossequences, Soil
systems.
2.Differentiate Soil Landscapes from Soilscapes
3.Emphasize the importance of the relief on soil formation (pedogenesis) and Soil Systems.
4.Differentiate the main types of Soilscapes and associated Soil Systems, emphasizing the tropical
regions.
5.Present the scales and study methods to evaluate the spatial, morphological and functional
relationships of soils in landscapes and their applications.

Content
Contemporary concepts of greater comprehensiveness: Geodiversity, Biodiversity, Pedodiversity, Geopedology and Soilscape. The landscape concepts and the role of soil. Soil concepts, the levels of scalar organization of soils. The interdependence between the soil and landscape and soil and relief (Soil Geomorphology):from geochemistry and pedogenetic zonality to geochemical behaviour in local scale. Pedogeomorphology and Morphopedology-scalar, conceptual, operational and constitutional differences. Catenas and pedological systems.Typology of landscapes, soilscapes and pedological systems, emphasizing the tropical landscapes and soilscapes.Equilibrium and imbalances of soils and landscapes.-Systems of vertical and lateral pedological transformation.Methods and instruments of study the soil and landscape: geocartography, macro and micromorphology and geodynamic (functional) types.There are several possible applications, with emphasis on agronomy,landscape ecology (geoecology) and (geo)environmental studies.
