anthropogenic soil

Disadvantages: As this process is controlled by plants, it takes more time than anthropogenic soil clean-up methods.

Consistent with the basic premises of historical ecology, it is recognized that anthropogenic soil management practices can have both positive and negative effects on local biodiversity.

Sites of Terra preta (anthropogenic soils) have been discovered in French Guiana, particularly near the border with Brazil.

Arents - anthropogenic soils: diagnostic horizons cannot develop because of deep mixing through plowing, spading, or other methods of moving by humans.

Most of the research on Anthropogenic soils describe specific aspects of their biology, chemistry or physical properties, cultural heritage and human geography, erosion, wastes, pollution, fertilizer management, taxonomy.

A necrosol is a type of anthropogenic soil commonly found at cemeteries or other burial sites, and is characterised by the presence of human remains in the soil.

The International Committee on Anthropogenic Soils (ICOMANTH) defines its mission as follows.

Amongst soil scientists, Belterra is famous for the underlying fertile, anthropogenic soil of 'Terra preta', which might have been amongst the criteria for the selection of this site for the plantation.

The Technique for Soil Evaluation and Categorisation for Natural and Anthropogenic Soils, also known as (TUSEC), is a recently developed method for soil evaluation in the temperate zone.

Anthropogenic soils are soils markedly affected by human activities, such as repeated ploughing, the addition of fertilizers, contamination, sealing, or enrichment with artefacts (in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources they are classified as Anthrosols and Technosols).

Some anthropogenic soils should be hence viewed as the 'golden spikes' of geologists (Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point), which are locations where there are strata successions with clear evidences of a worldwide event, including the appearance of distinctive fossils.
