🌱 Understanding Pedogenesis: The 6 Major Soil-Forming Processes


Ever wondered how different soils are formed across the world? Soil formation (pedogenesis) is driven by climate, vegetation, topography, parent material, and time.


Here is a quick breakdown of the primary pedogenic processes:
1️⃣ Translocation (Eluviation–Illuviation) – Leaching and movement of minerals through water percolation.
2️⃣ Organic Processes – Degradation, humification, and mineralisation of organic matter.
3️⃣ Podzolisation – Acidic leaching in cool, humid climates producing ash-grey horizons.
4️⃣ Gleying – Anaerobic reduction in waterlogged conditions creating bluish-grey soils.
5️⃣ Desilication (Laterisation) – Silica leaching in hot, humid tropics leaving behind iron & aluminium oxides.
6️⃣ Salinisation & Calcification – Upward capillary movement and salt/calcium accumulation in arid regions.
