Organizational mechanisms of tectology in soil science

Abstract

Under discussion are basic concepts, methods and prerequisites for applying in pedology such a general science as tectology founded by A.A. Bogdanov, an eminent Russian scientist, in the early 20th century. Tectological, i.e.organizational approach proved to be efficient in formalization, in cartographic and attributive description of soil objects and in elaboration of the classification structure. A new conception is universal in its application and many aspects of soil science may be considered in tectological context (systems, structures). However, there is a weak spot in formalization of concepts, what has been implemented by theoretic-plural means, multidimensional statistics and claster analysis.
