Аннотация: The concept of the pedosphere, as a biogeomembrane covering the Earth’s terrestrial surface, evolved from the idea of soils as natural, independent, evolving bodies on the land surface. Processes caused by the interactions of the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere throughout geologic time alter parent materials into pedogenic features and horizons. Variable rates of processes of formation and resilience of pedogenic properties provide unique, very complex mosaics of anisotropic bodies of soils. Soil properties are the records of past and present environmental conditions, so-called pedo-memory. Learning to unravel the messages correctly remains a challenge today. The functions of the pedosphere enable ecosystems and societies to develop and evolve. There are many soils in the pedosphere that have been disturbed by humans in their attempts to control the functional behavior of natural processes. The anthroposphere has become such a major factor interacting with the pedosphere that currently the global challenge is how to reconcile the demands for human development with the tolerance of nature.
