| Wikipedic | The word edaphology is derived from the Greek words "edaphos" meaning ground or floor, and "logy" meaning word, or wisdom. Edaphology (syn. as applied to agronomy: agrology) is one of the two main branches of soil science, the other being pedology. Edaphology is concerned with the influence of soils on living things, particularly plants. The term is also applied to the study of how soil influences man's overall use of the land.
