How do I become soil scientist?

Anonymous No. 16255731

Do non-biased experiments designed to learn things from or about soil. Or go to college for soilology idk.

Does soilology even exists. How hard can soil be, it's just soil

Soil science is a real field. If you want a primer then try reading "Building Soil for Better Crops" by Fred Magdoff and Harold Van Es. You can find it on libgen.

You can do crop and soil sciences, agricultural science.. maybe something archaeology related? Maybe you could go into materials science or organic chemistry? It depends on what aspect of the soil you want to research.

All soil

grab a shovel,
dig a hole
look at dirt
sniff dirt
smear dirt
try to roll dirt into a ball
squish the ball
roll it between your fingers to make a sausage shape
wash mud off hands

If you're interested in improving your soil health then incorporate biochar and compost into your soil.

Not interested I just had dream where god told me if I understand soil then everything will be easy to understand, from computers and mathematics to medicine

Soil tests are necessary for basically all forms of agriculture (and frequently mandatory when farmers buy or sell land) and some types of construction projects. Soil science is a deceptively profitable field of science that is always in demand.

soil texturing, your first practical step on the road to becoming an actual soil scientist, it allows you to roughly estimate approximate soil constituents and make predictions of it behaviour

Thanks. Do you work with soil

I did some soil science modules.
another step would be desiccation, rewetting, sedimentation and burning out the organic matter

Or to clarify that
you take a crushed sample of the soil, weigh then dry it in an oven and weigh it again
with anoth sample you put it in a glass container with straight sides shake it up with water and leave it to settle out, with which you can measure how long each fraction takes to fall out
take another sample and heat it to a temperature where all the organic matter just burns
next you will have chemical tests like ph tests

This is the most incelcore thing I've heard on this board all month, and to make matters worse, it even invites dumb quips about planting seeds.

Agricultural science, or environmental science.
Those are the two main branches that study soil.
>what about geology?
It studies mostly rocks, some topography (for geomorphology and stratigraphy), and the history of the planet. It hardly looks at soil.

Let me guess: you're inspired by Sadhguru who's campaigning to ''save soil'' because everything and everyone on this planet comes from soil and returns from soil thus how soil is that is how everyone and everything is?

You've basically watched a commercial on psychedelic drugs.

Never heard of that. I just believe if I understand soil my understanding of this world will be far more advanced. Also saguru sounds like some pajeet
